Colorful, Fun And Challenging Art Projects

This post brought to you by Astrobrights Papers by Neenah Paper. All opinions are 100% mine.

In case you haven't noticed yet: creativity is often expressed in color and the brighter the color, the more your work of art stands out from the crowd.

A lot of crafts and hobbies require the use of paper and the 23 bright, bold, eye-catching colors which AstroBrights papers come in are perfect for bringing your imagination to life.

The vivid, unique colors stand out from the crowd and are therefore not only excellent for craft projects, but also for invitations, flyers, brochures, and anything else that needs to catch people's attention.

Another thing that makes them stand out is the "Give a Brighter Year" sweepstakes which started on July 16, 2012 and ends on September 10, 2012 at 11:59:59 p.m. ET. By entering you can support your local elementary school and have a chance to win school supplies valued at $30,000 for the school of your choice and a $500 Prepaid Visa Card® for yourself.

To enter; go to the Astrobrights® Facebook page, click the 'Like' button to access the Sweepstakes application and simply follow the directions to complete and submit your entry form. After submission, you receive one entry, but you can get bonus entries for each Entry Period, and there are seven!

That is exciting, but even more exciting is the family-friendly "Make Something Astrobright" design challenges. Participate and let your imagination go wild, create something stunning, share pictures and videos of your project and have a shot at winning AstroBrights Paper and other prizes.

Don't forget to prompt others to participate and share #goastrobrights on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest and if you lack ideas, I got one for you; colorful, handcrafted greeting cards are fun to make, offer endless opportunities and are always appreciated!
