2013 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE - DESIGN MASTERS FORD GT book review

* I received the below mentioned product solely for review purposes.  The below mentioned opinions are completely honest and completely my own.

Racing in the late 1960's was dominated by one car: the Ford GT40. Four time consecutive winner of the "24 Hours of Le Mans," the GT40's legacy lives on in the Ford GT. Produced from 2005 to 2006, just over 4,000 of these cars were built. Expensive and hard to come by, the Ford GT was prized by collectors and racing fans alike. Many owners put their own ideas into the car's paint job, something you can do as well with the Design Masters Ford GT Sketchbook. For race car drivers age seven and up, the Ford GT sketchbook includes more than 50 stencils, more than 250 stickers and 30 sketch pages. Turn the Ford GT into a work of art with the Design Masters Ford GT Sketchbook.



MY THOUGHTS

My nephew loves movies like Fast and the Furious and especially loves the hot cars in them.  So when I was given the opportunity to review a Design Masters sketchbook; I jumped at it.  I was even more thrilled when I received the Ford GT sketchbook since my nephew loves them.

The sketchbook has tons of stencils and stickers to make each GT your very own masterpiece!  It has 30 pages which means tons of possibilities for the opportunity to make the perfect collector's car!  

I love the fact that the sketchbook will encourage my nephew to be artistic which is great since he loves to doodle in his sparetime!  I am sure he will absolutely love this sketchbook and I can not wait to see what designs he comes up with!

So be sure to grab your future car designers a Design Masters sketchbook today!

2013 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE - AQUARELLE DOLPHIN set review

* I received the below mentioned product solely for review purposes.  The below mentioned opinions are completely honest and completely my own.



Simple and unique watercolour painting technique Create perfect works of art every time! Each canvas comes pre-printed with the unique Aquarelle outline The outline prevents the paint from running and when the canvas dries, adds detail to your artwork Mix the special liquid watercolour inks following the colour chart, or invent your own for even greater creativity
More product information : Getting creative could not be easier! Aquarelle is a brand new watercolour craft concept, which is simple yet extremely effective. The technique helps you create perfect works of art – every time. The watercolour canvas is pre-printed with a thin white wax outline, which acts as a guide for the picture and prevents the colours from "running". Once you've completed your design, the wax design becomes a perfect white outline, showing all the detail in your painting. The unique liquid watercolour ink allows you to mix just about any colour you can dream of. Either the follow the colour guide included in the box, or if you are feeling really creative, you can always mix up your own blend of colours. The set contains three canvasses, a double ended paintbrush with two strengths, liquid ink, pallette and a pipette. • Winner of Best Creative Product at Olympia Toy Fair 2012 • Unique printed boards ensure image outlines remain “clean” to give that special watercolour “look” • Mix the inks following the colour chart, or invent your own for even greater creativity 
Contents: The set contains three canvasses, a double ended paintbrush with two strengths, liquid ink, pallette and a pipette.

MY THOUGHTS
My oldest daughter and I loved how easy it was to paint our last Aquarelle project so I was excited when I got the opportunity to review another one especially since it had 3 canvasses so me and both my daughters could enjoy it together.

This kit was just as easy as the first one plus it had the same opportunity to be able to mix your own colors which my daughters loved to do.  Also like before I love that it is outlined on it to help prevent messes in the pic but it also adds more definition to it as well.

I think Aquarelle is perfect for boys and girls and would make a great Holiday Gift .  It helps them be more creative than your normal paint by number kind of kits because you mix your own colors.  So kids' creative sides really get to shine with Aquarelle.  You can purchase Aquarelle now just in time for the Holiday season to begin.  You can find them on Amazon where the price varies depending on the size of the kit from around 5 to 20 dollars.  The dolphins kit is about 12 dollars right now on Amazon so be sure to grab a couple kits for your budding artist!

SORRY for my ABSENCE....

I just wanted to give an update about my short absence.  I have unfortunately been dealing with a sick kiddo for the last few days.  I took her to the Dr and luckily he said it was in the beginning stages so with some medicine she will be free and clear shortly.

SO I should be up and back in full swing tomorrow with tons more goodies for my Holiday Gift Guide!  I hope all of my readers are having a great week!
