My last posted I mentioned that We R had asked me to review and create with some product for HSN.
Well one of the tools was the super cool mini ABC punchboard. YES I said mini! And if you know me, you know how much I love mini.
This little board is so perfect for travel, and yep it’s been on the road with me ever since I received it!
I love that you can create any title for any
creation while you are on the go.
I’m not a huge pocket scrapbooker, but I do love me some pocket pages! My favorite pockets to use are baseball protectors. They roughly hold a 2x3 card. Guess what the Mini ABC’s fit just perfectly! These pages are also the perfect size for install photos. And did you know the ABC board also ounces numbers? WHAT? Yes that’s right!
To finish up my pockets I use the Fuse tool to seal the pockets.
I love how simple this page just comes together. I add a Maggie Holmes tassel to add a bit of flair and bam pocket page complete.
There are just so many uses for the Mini ABC punchboard. How cute would it be to make little banners that pulled out of a greeting card!

At the beginning of summer We R asked if I could create and give a review of some product being featured on HSN for HSN’s 30th birthday. I was lucky enough to get to work with the mini piñata and mini ABC punchboard.
For my first project I made this super cute watermelon piñata. I really wanted to make something out of the ordinary, and something for summer. What better than a watermelon piñata
I took the round piñata shape and cut it in half. Using some of the packaging, I created the “top” of the half circle. If you plan on filling the piñata with goodies, now is the time before you secure the “top”
After everything dried I started adding the tissue paper fringe. I started with the darker green and then the lighter one to give the rind the varied look. I then worked with the red fringe. To give the watermelon the finishing touch I ruffled the fringe and cut out some black seeds.
How cute would it be if you varied the slices with pink “meat” too! You could also cut the circles into triangles for another classic look.
