All of my life I've been drawn to creative projects. It's my Zen. Writing is one of those outlets, but some of you may know that I went to school to major in the fine arts. Just like with writer's block, there's also artist's block. I think many other creative personalities can relate. When there are so many possibilities, we (or at least I) get so overwhelmed that I lose my focus and can't get any work done. This is one of the reasons I love blogging, because I can revise and edit as much as I want, and it's a lot less messy than stripping down an oil painting!
Just look at the pack of goodies they sent! How on earth could this be anything but fun?
For the inspiration they included their Poster Project Idea Book - which is a really helpful, spiral-bound book, whether you want to advertise a yard sale or birthday party. From arrangement to presentation and everything in between, it's all included in this guide.
Don't forget about the accessories - everything you need to create the perfect poster is right here:
- Quick Borders - fun ways to edge your poster, including a glue stick.
- Quick Letter Pads - brightly colored letters and numbers which are re-positionable
- Quick Letter Pads - in Jumbo Neon, sticky-back
- Sparkle Letter Pads - also re-positionable and includes numbers as well.
- Eyecatchers - neon and holographic stars, arrows, hearts and much more. Peel stick!
- 3 Packages of Stickers - in Glitter, Pattern and Retro styles - lots of fun!
- Poster Flash - this one's my favorite because the stars actually light up! They have an on/off switch and batteries are included.
ArtSkills has everything you need to jazz up your posters. All I need now is the poster board! I can't wait to make some yard sale signs with these products.
