~PINK POWER Guest Blogger & Big GIVEAWAY TOO!~

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm Sarah from Pink Cricut, and the designer behind Pink by Design Stamps. I love to craft--and I am always trying new tools and techniques. I try to post several videos a week, because as a "retired" teacher- I know that most people are visual learners.

I say "retired" because I stopped working 3 years ago, to stay home with my little girl and boy. My daughter is 5 and my son is 3. They keep me very busy--and they both LOVE to craft with me!

I am so honored to be collaborating with Pinky today,

on this special PINK POWER event

Since we both LOVE pink-- it was MUST that we worked together!

So, today she is posting on my blog, and I on hers.

Be sure to hop over to Pink Cricut to see what Pinky has created for today!

For today's project I have made a fun video using the Imagnisce's AWESOME I-top!

I also made this FUN Sizzix bag, using my favorite pattern/color combination of Pink and Zebra!

I used the Big Shot Pro and the Purse #2 Die. I also used an I-top Brad daddy to decorate the bag.

The sentiment, "Have a Wild Birthday," comes from Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Stamp set from Pink by Design.

All of the accessories fit nicely in the bag! :) Wouldn't this make a perfect gift for a little girl?

~Some fun news today & 5 things I love~

Besides the 6" of snow that we all are happy about....

Helmar contacted me and let me know they used my videos on their blog!
Everyone asks me what adhesive I use and honestly
this is the glue I use, I just LOVE IT!
So I had fun sharing with my quirky videos.

here is the blog :)
I'd love it if a few friends stopped by to let them know
that I am spreading the word.

I thought I would list 5 things I live today
because Valentine's Day is coming up and my anniversary
is coming up right quick.

#1
Beautiful weather, it always has been a fascination
and it always will be, this is the night before the big snow.
#2
My children's curiosity.
This might look like a silly bowl in the snow to some but to me
it was so cute.
My youngest wanted to "Catch" snow for "snow cones" hehe
So we set bowls out and filled them with snow for snow cones.
#3
You think I am going to say Coach! LOL but really I am going to say
my husband who every once in a while indulges me with a pretty
purse as a gift and is very talented at picking them out himself.
This was my anniversary gift a few days early.

#4
Friends! Whether they be online or in person, they all
help keep me on the right path!
Especially the ones I have known for a long time...
Let's see...Aymee, Kelly, Denise, Eva, Liz, Shelly, Janelle, Melissa,
Dolores, LJ, Patti, Nicole, Kristina, Tina, Vicki, Sarah, just to name a FEW

I am so blessed and I know I did not post all the names...How could I?
If you are my friend, I thank you for sticking by me.
You have to be a strong woman to be my friend and you are awesome!
#5
This back scratcher is my new best friend! LOL
I love it and it is great for dry skin and short arms! I think I will be doing a list every week...just because I am
so very thankful and its a great reminder of the little things in our
every day lives.

OHHH and I almost forgot!!!
I am going to post a challenge tomorrow!!!!!
