It’s the last day of teasers!  Today the My Favorite Things team is sharing samples of WTG Winter in the City, Happy Thoughts and Snowflake Flopsey.  You can find direct links to all the samples HERE after 11 a.m. EST.  Be sure to leave comments at each stop for your chance to win one of the new sets!   Then tonight from 8-10 p.m. EST is the pre-release party HERE, with the release Hop & Shop beginning HERE at 10 p.m. EST.  Now that I’ve linked you to death, here’s my sample.  🙂

Snowflakes Are Like Friends

I’ve paired Snowflake Flopsey with the new Polka Dot Greetings Frame and Die-namics die-cut.  The sentiment is from the Flopsey set while the dots and die-cut are from the Polka Dot set.  (Both available tonight.)

On the inside, I’ve used a second sentiment from the Flopsey set.

I hope you’ll stop by the MFT Member Forum tonight from 8-10 p.m. EST for lots of fun chatter, games and more prizes!    The winner of the Guest Designer Contest will be announced as well.  That’s always exciting!

I’m So Very Sorry 

Jolinne is so sweet.  She really does look sorry here, doesn’t she?

I didn’t really do anything special …colored with Copics, added ground/grass with colored pencils. 

Along the bottom, I used the negative from the Notebook Edge Die-namics border die.

And on the inside I used a sentiment from the Jolinne “Just for You” set.

A Harvest of Memories, a Day of Thanks

This is Li’l Pumpkin.  SO cute!!  The set comes with the image I’ve used here plus five sentiments.

I’ve paper-pieced her dress, the tiny heart and gave her some pieced, striped stockings.  I remember when my daughter used to wear those.  That, of course, was before the Hanna Montana/glitter/brightest colors EVER hit her wardrobe.  🙂

On the inside, I used a second sentiment and stamped a silhouette of the Li’l Pumpkin girl.

Hi everyone!  The My Favorite Things team is back today with previews of three new sets , Fred Bear Snow Bear, Ballet Millie and Game Day Duo.  Today I have Fred Bear but I hope to be back soon with the other two.  🙂

Share the Joy

I like Fred Bear.  He’s so cute.  I used some fun new Crate Paper here.  Too bad I ended up covering it all. 

You can see the fun (and) funky paper a little better here.  I like it.  🙂

Today the team is sharing samples Clearly Sentimental about Books and a new stamp set/Die-namics duo, Polka Dot Greetings.

A Good Book is Awaiting   

I used Clearly Sentimental about Books along with MFT’s Open Scallop Die-namics border die.  (I think that might be temporarily out of stock.)    

On the inside, I created a pocket to hold a gift card on the left.  I used the same papers on the right, leaving plenty of room for a little note.   

The “for you” sentiment is from MFT’s WTG Chick Flick set.

As a little extra, I used a second sentiment from the new set to create a book mark.
