As my second participation to GPP Street Team crusade, I had a really hard time. I'm not really wordy in my journal, it's mainly visual, collages and painting.
This is the most 'wordy' page I have in my journal. I was listening to the news on TV, and writing what I heard at the same time. This is how it ended, quite childish, but fun.
This one is more interesting, painting on right page, pasting newspapers on left page, then writing across.
When I write something it's usually one or two words, stamped or cut from magazines. So, as I was playing with Crowabout this week, I thought I would give a try at writing really in a page. I mean, conceiving the page with the text, not just adding words here and there.

I was inspired by the background, one I made recently with paints, inspired by Julie's video. I turned the page and followed the flow, if I could say so, but writing on top of paints lines (could not find the real word for this : the paint is liquid, and is going down all through the page leaving color behind, in French we would say 'coulure' but it seems to be a grape disease in English, if someone could give me the name ?)
Thanks for viewing.

Cecile - terrific pages showing all kinds of writing styles! Love the way you wrote along the 'dripping' paint. Cool to know you got painting tips from fellow crusader Julie. Thanks for sharing all this work with the team!
Awesome techniques! I love the sense of whimsy I get from your pages.
Thank you Michelle for the 'dripping' I knew it before !!!
Cecile - these are really really cool. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with the team. Marlynn
WOW Cecile- these are really fantastic!! Of course I love those drips...but I also love your portrait and collage pages...very beautiful!
Cecile--these are really great ideas! Each one different, but that's what the challenge is about-exploration of the possibilities!
I don't know if we have a word for "coulure" but we sure have a word for your work--rockin!
Wonderful pages! There is nothing "grape disease" about them, LOL. I'm going to watch the background video now, because I like yours so much.
Wow, your use of words and writing is incredible. So fun and so creative!
beautiful pages and anything written in French looks wonderful to me :)
Great pages, and really cool that you got right into the challenge. I am unsure what the word you are looking for is; but the grape diease comment made me laugh. Language is such a funny thing.
Totally rad pages! I love all the different types of writing you did! Julie's videos are the best!
