I decided to brave the elements and move along with the crusade. I followed the instructions; things went along smoothly. But I had three images that stubbornly decided they "needed" to be in this spread as well. These images come from those freebie postcards used to advertise this and that. This is the end result:
There were some elements on the pages that I wanted to preserve, such as the heart and a little flower on the first page. My name, of course! I glued a fabric flower and a stripe of green to two of the faces to make a kind of dress. I wanted to add some doodling, but I think it is busy enough. I "lost" the stripes though ...
Thank you for visiting!

Mona, I disagree...I don't think you lost the strips. Cool to learn that you wanted to preserve some of the bits on the strips. That is what makes composing over them so interesting, don't you think? Thanks for sharing your work with the team - looks great!
great spread! love the comic freebies, they make it! add the extra touch.
Very nice pages... but your doodles are gorgeous in an earlier post!
Great job! It has such wonderful texture and energy!
I like the strips as the backdrop you your funky characters ! Nice job on the Strip Ease Crusade !
I can see all of the strips....love the graffiti feel of this!
I really like that you used the postcard images, the result's so vibrant.
This is such a fun page!
well, i LOVE the images you added!
If those images cried out to be used, then you must listen! They certainly add a touch of fun and whimsey.
Cool pages - I don't think you lost the stripes, but have intergrated them nicely into your work.
Hello Mona,
loosing the strips ? Take a look at my creation... I lost the strips ! :)
You can still easily see how you build up your background and it makes a great background for the comic figures you used.

Love those little comic characters, I think they make the page come alive.
I love the papers you used. Great work.
I think you did a great job, and you didn't loose the strips at all ! Love the combination with the images.
I love this and especially the way so many elements peak through making you want to look closer and closer. Thanks for sharing.
