<p>Here&#8217;s a special creation that feels specifically designed to tug at my heartstrings. Not only was it born in my home and current town — ;Hello, Cleveland! — ;it&#8217;s a magazine, and it has the special power to create an utterly one-of-a-kind reflection of everyone&#8217;s favorite subject: themselves.</p>



<p>Meet The Collage Kit from <a href="https://www.freeperiodpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.freeperiodpress.com/">Free Period Press</a>: pages and pages of design goodness just begging to be cut and pasted into your very own collage masterpiece.</p>

<p>The publication is bursting with spread after spread of inspiring photos, illustrations, and designs. Whether you want to break out the modge podge for some serious decoupage fun, enhance a scrapbook or journal of family photos or private thoughts, or even fashion a gallery wall of custom wallpaper, this is the first step in making it happen. </p>

<p>Creator Lora DiFranco put a lot of careful love and thought into this colorful creations, and shared with me why she loves collage so:<br>1. Collaging is a super accessible creative activity (even for folks who don’t seem themselves as “creative”) — all you need are some scissors and a glue stick.<br>2. Collaging is a nostalgic way to unplug, destress, and make something tangible with your hands. (I especially like making postcards to send to friends.)<br>3. The magazine features work from 40 of our favorite artists. We’re especially excited to be supporting artists during this tough economic time.</p>
