The suggestion for the new crusade at GPP Street Team is to cut words and phrases from magazines, newspapers, junk mail etc and to make backgrounds from them. Here are my first two pages. I haven't yet decided whether to leave them as they are or to apply some decoration to them. Time will tell...

Very cool Jackie! Loving your colors *wink*. These will be fun backgrounds. Thanks for being so speedy, and sharing your work with the team!
These are soooo cool, Jackie! I must give it a go :)
great backgrounds Jackie; think they will look good also painted over and wiped off in places, may try it myself I am looking for inspiration, your blog always inspires me ;o) Nettie xx
Great text and perfect for the crusade. Thanks for sharing with us.
WOW great page! now we have to wait for the background challenge!
Your pages are so dramatic ... I just luv them!
Love your pages!
I like how everything is put together, great pages!
I have to say.. that red, black and white thing works. And so does your orientation mix, and I like it. One thing you could do is to scan these and always have this great background to use for all sorts of ideas! Then you won't have to make that decision right away.
Thanks for sharing.
I really like the first one - the red letters dominating everything is so unexpected. I love red, white & black, but this really shook up my vision!
Your pages look really strong with just the red and black. Love them!

Red, black and white is the winning combination indeed ...I like the variations in size, color ...
love color game :D
page with red texting is great :D
Love to see what you did with these phrases, a real strong spread.
Backgrounds? Well, they look great just at they are to me!
Really interesting color study--the bold red with black, and the more mixed approach. Letters as graphic elements can be so intriguing--and your collage certainly proved it!
Wow! I love the red and black text. So striking together. Very cool text!
The colour scheme is very dramatic but it's the one number that caught my eye instantly. I found myself wondering if the number meant anything to you, or if it was random. It really drew me in.
I love that color comobo too but the red page is just a POP of color. I need to cut more text bits!!
wow great composition and color combinations!! i love it.
wow! so contrast-y with the black, white and red text. Looks great!!
Nice backgrounds ! Love the text colors, and can't wait to see what you add to the page (or maybe you just leave them like this ..)
These are great pages! I love the way you have used the colours and the size of type. Thanks so much for sharing.
