Mona Lisa Smile - make your own masterpiece

Have you ever wanted to pretend you are 

Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Vermeer or Claude Monet?

Smile,

 I have the most amazing book to help your creative, artistic dreams come true!

Paint by Sticker is a compelling new activity 

for crafters, doodlers and coloring book enthusiasts of all ages.  

It is a simple, fun mixture of stickers and paint by numbers.

It's relaxingly therapeutic and you'll be so proud of your creation.

So move over, Renoir -

put down that brush, give your painters' pallet a new job as a snack tray 

and make a masterpiece...

Select your work of art and the coordinating sticker sheet...

peel off a sticker...

find its place on your art page and put it on.

That's it.

Just keep some tweezers on hand for tiny stickers or tricky areas...

You don't have to be too precise though, it will look like irregular stones on a mosaic -

beautiful, classic, timeless.

You'll be amazed how a blank page suddenly comes to life...

With 12 iconic works of art, 

you will have a gallery of your own in no time.

Mona Lisa may not have much of a smile, but you will.

Do you want a chance to win a copy of Paint by Stickers Masterpieces 

and a frame for one of your creations?

Water Colorful Summer Art Party

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Brita, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BritaOnTheGo http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

It's Summer and I'm ready for some color!

We are kicking this season off with a bright and cheerful 

watercolor party.

Tiny easels and paints...

turn into simple Summer masterpieces.

But little artists get thirsty.

What better way to "wet their palette",
 than with some water-colorful fruit to flavor their water?!

Drop in your favorites into a stylish, vibrant water bottle

and sit back to enjoy your creations...

We all know the importance of drinking water and staying hydrated, but it can be challenging.

For me it needs to be crisp, clean and cold 

and anything I can do to make it more fun and flavorful helps.

I love to have great tasting filtered water at my fingertips 

and being able to have it when I'm on the go is amazing. 

My Brita Water Bottles from the Walmart hardware section are just the best.

They look great and are so fun to tote around. The built in filter, reduces the taste and odor of chlorine, and other contaminants, to deliver great-tasting water while removing impurities.

Perfect for turning water from the tap or a fountain into something you actually want to drink.

And they were  the perfect Water Color Party favor.

Here is to a Water-Colorful Summer!
