Ms. Cutelis' collage obsession

I have been obsessed with these Fiskars squeeze punchers for a while now. I must have about 20 of them now and love making collages with them with my kids. This past week they were on sale at 40% off at Michael's and I again, bought a few to add to my growing collection. You too can enjoy these at home....here is a list of what you will need.....
<span class=First, you will need a few punchers. (They are found at Michael's...they are about 12-16$...make sure you take a 40% off coupon below)....I always google for the coupon online and print them before I go to the store.



Then, I get all the catalogues, magazines I have been getting in the mail and sit on the rug with my kids. They love punching just as much as I do...
Then you will need a gallery wrapped canvas...."gallery wrapped" just means that the staples are in the back.....I buy a 7 set 12x12 canvases at 19$. Again, use your coupon.

Last, you will need a flat brush and glossy Mod Podge glue. The glue will be used as a glue and a sealant. Meaning this will go under and over your cutouts...
Now is when the fun begins.....below are some of the creations I've done this past year....
