Text Messaging
As Michelle would say… “How cool is that?!” I created a page this evening in my altered girls’ journal, scanned it into my PC and then went browsing, wondering if the latest Crusade (No. 43), had been posted yet. Imagine my surprise when I found it was there and all about using found text in your pages…
Although there’s no pressure to show a completed page along these lines, I have this one ready, so here it is!

I’m a sci-fi fan, always have been, ever since I read “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov. I don’t read as many books in the genre these days, but I love watching series like Fringe, Warehouse 13, etc. I recently watched the new J.J. Abram’s film Star Trek and enjoyed it hugely. That’s what prompted this page’s images, which I found whilst tidying up the lounge! The text is words I cut from a library bookmark – also found whilst tidying! Serendipitous I believe…
I shall have fun trying the linear style of texting shown by Michelle in the coming days. If you’ve never tried a Crusade before, please check it out – they’re fun, friendly and eye-opening!

I also have loved SF for years, and am not nearly caught up with all that’s going on in the genre, but I loved Abrams’s Star Trek and think this is groovy. I may even Grok it… not sure yet!
the colors are great. Thanks for playing!
