AstroBrights Paper Review

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Astrobrights Papers by Neenah Paper for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

AstroBrights papers are not your ordinary paper. I try to surround myself with bright cheerful colors. In fact, we have a beautiful bright orange paint picked out for our kitchen. I also love using color in many of my craft projects. AstroBrights papers offers 23 bright and fabulous colors to choose from. They give you endless possibilities when it comes to crafting and creating.

If you want your ideas to get the attention they deserve, then use AstroBrights paper. For your next craft fair, yard sale, brochure, or flyer use a bright paper to stand out. For home, school, or office, a bright unique high quality paper, will make your ideas standout. AstroBright believes ideas are important, and a bright quality paper, is the perfect way to display your creativity. For those of you with kids, school will be starting soon and what better way to kick off the school year than with some fun stand-out colors.

 

I was so excited when I recieved my AstroBrights papers. The colors were amazing and I could not wait to create something. I thought it would be fun to make a calendar for my daughter to help her learn the days of the week, months and weather.

 

 

I started by making a basic calendar using open office on some hot pink paper. I printed out the days of the week on a different colored paper and cut 2 lengthwise slits the same width as the pink paper. I then printed out "today, tomorrow, yesterday" on orange paper and wrapped in around the bottom strip. I glued the orange paper together but made sure to glue it to itself and not to the blue paper. This way it can move freely accross the strip under the corect day.

Right now we are only working on Monday through Friday.  If you would like to do Saturday and Sunday as well, you will have to cut the bottom slit about an inch longer on each side to allow the Today tab to move  under those days.
