hsn & we r: part 2

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.

 

We R Product Used:

We R DIY Party Mini Pinata 4.75" 3/Pkg Circle

We R DIY Party Fringe Tape 12' Blossom

We R DIY Party Fringe Tape 12' Meadow

I was so extremely excited to contribute a layout over on Shimelle’s blog

The assignment I choose was “to mix old & new stash” and the theme was “childhood”

 

 

Well this was right up my alley. I have stepped outside of my comfort zone lately and been using my stash {my way of justifying all the new product I have purchased lately}. I also have been adding a ton of product to my pages {that’s right I have stepped away from by white space layouts, & I am loving it!}.

 

Here’s what I said on Shimelle’s blog:

 

I am so excited to be sharing my layout here today on Shimelle’s blog

I have always loved to mix and matching product, but just recently have I been able to use up my stash! I normally am a white space scrapper using very little product. Lately seeing a little bit of everything {product/stash} on a page makes me really happy. I used lots of different product for this layout that represents/reminds me of my childhood

I used Shimelle’s True Stories Collection as my main product focus, but I love how it mixes with so many other products, and collections.

 

For this layout I used:

• Shimelle True Stories 6x6 paper pad
• Shimelle Acrylic Shapes
• Shimelle Wood Border
• Shimelle Wood Veneer
• Shimelle Dimensional Stickers
• Shimelle Tinsel bows
• Shimelle Cork Stickers
• Thickers Marquee
• Thickers Woodland

• Pink Fresh Studio, Happy Place, Puffy Stickers & Rubber Charms
• Colorcast Designs Big Word
• Turquoise Avenue Cork Stickers
• Pink Paislee Cedar Avenue Puffy Stickers

Other Product From:

• Heidi Swapp
• Maggie Holmes
• Amy Tangerine
• Freckled Fawn
• Evalicious
• Basic Grey
• Studio Calico
• American Crafts

we r projects: december

 

I’m so very sad to say December was my last month with We R Memory Keepers.

This was truly a great team and company to work for {ALL the teams and companies I have worked for have been better than I could ever have dreamt}

When I first started with We R, it was hard to get my head,

into project mode and not just layout mode.

Now that the team is over, it’s so heard to get my head back to layout mode and not project mode.

Here’s what I made for December

 

pom pom snowballs

year in review

 

I had so much fun with these projects! especially the snowballs

 

well that's a wrap folks
