Brighten The Day

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

Even though our grandchildren have more then enough toys to keep them busy, it turned out they were awed, pleasantly surprised and highly entertained by the paper hats, airplanes and boats we folded for them this past week.

Since we didn't have any newspaper, I resorted to wrapping paper. It wasn't very sturdy, but with the help of a few pieces of tape it did the trick. It would have been a great project though for using the colorful AstroBrights papers; the unique, vivid, bright colors would most certainly have appealed to our little ones.

This would be a great idea to enter into the family-friendly 'Make Something Astrobright' design challenges. Anyone can participate, share pictures and videos of their projects and win AstroBrights Paper and many other prizes.

You can even make it more challenging by increasing the competition; simply share #goastrobrights on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest, where you can find some more inspiration for all kinds of fun ideas and projects as well.

These vivid, bold colored papers are also excellent for invitations, brochures, flyers, book reports and more. They ensure to capture people's attention by being head and shoulders above their contestants.

AstroBrights® now offers the opportunity to support your local elementary school and win school supplies with a total value of $30,000 for the school of your choice, plus a $500 Gift Card for you.

Entering the 'Give a Brighter Year' sweepstakes is easy: go to the Astrobrights® Facebook page, click the 'Like' button to access the Sweepstakes application, follow the directions, complete and submit your entry form.

There is still time to enter, because the sweepstakes started on July 16, 2012 and will end on September 10, 2012 at 11:59:59 p.m. ET. Don't wait too long though; it is a wonderful way to brighten someone's day!
