Here's my text messaging effort for the GPP street Team Crusade
For some reason, my words HAD to spell some sort of message, that made kind of sense (?)
I was lucky enough to receive a clothing catalogue this week and just as I was going to throw it out, a tiny lightbulb went off and I knew it would be good to use it in this particular crusade! Moral of the story - never throw things out! They are ALWAYS useful for something, especially art wise. I also love, love the textures on those walls I've used as backgrounds, so rustic!
Thanks for viewing!
Waste not want not..!
ReplyDeleteI like the bottom one, very good.
Have a great weekend..

Krissie - love the backgrounds you used with your text messages. Cool to learn they are from a catalog. Great job, and good eye to repurpose! I find it interesting that you admitted you HAD to form meaning from the found words. I *dare* you to make another page that is abstract - cut right through a word so you can't tell what it says....and layer some upside-down. You don't HAVE to, (of course) just thought it might be an out-of-the-box challenge for yourself. Thanks for sharing your work with the team!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so cool! I plan to do this crusade too but haven't had time yet.
ReplyDeleteI loe how you have used your text; two great pieces. The trouble with not throwing anything out though is that you get a house that looks like mine!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to use catalogs for words! I always just toss them in the recycling bin. Not any more. You've made me a changed woman! Love the "WILD" in your pin-up.
ReplyDeleteI have definitely found the value in saving everything I make, even if it's scraps! Like your choices, and Wild Thing is a fabulous inclusion!
ReplyDelete(I may use it.)
thanks for sharing.
love your text messages. I to am entering the challenge have way done, but I to have to make sense
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how we want to wrest order out of chaos? Kudos to your "wall" theme; almost like real graffiti.
ReplyDeleteI love your text pages.... great recycling!

Cool idea to recycle stuff and I like the messages.
ReplyDeleteGreat words and backgrounds. It is almost like writing poetry, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Love the soft backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteCatalogs can provide such great words and even greater backgrounds. Thank goodness your lightbulb went off--the results are great! I love the generous use of white space--it makes the words seem more important.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog header :-)
ReplyDeleteI like both your pages but the top one especially speaks to me. I am one of life's true insomniacs so anything to do with sleep gets my attention! I think you made great use of the catalogue.
Great work. Love the soft backgrounds on both of your pages.
ReplyDeleteI love these and prefer a make sense kind of page myself. (Internal rules I still have!) I like the 2nd one enough to make a digital version for myself. I just don't know what story I'll tell..
ReplyDeletei like your second spread, solely if it got me singing "Wild Thing...you make my heart sing...you make everryyything...grooovyyy"
ReplyDeletehehe :)
wonderful! I love the way you chose and placed your text. lenna
ReplyDeleteFabby pages. I like the idea of using the words to spell out something sensible, rather than just to use them, which is what I did! Might have to try that, too. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat pages. I really like how you put the words together and the backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue background especially! Great messages you've created - a fun way to use up catalogues and junk mail!
ReplyDelete(Thanks for stopping by)
Beautiful pages, I love them both ! When I started 'crusading' I decided to build up a stack of magazines. Now I have tons and just great to use !
