engagé: adjective

 committed to or supportive of a cause

pronunciation

 

"Engagé" is the past participle of the French verb "engager," meaning "to engage." The French have used "engagé" since the 19th century to describe socially or politically active people. The term became particularly fashionable in the wake of World War II, when French writers, artists, and intellectuals felt it was increasingly important for them to take a stand on political or social issues and represent their attitudes in their art. By 1946, English speakers had adopted the word for their own politically relevant writing or art, and within a short time "engagé" was being used generally for any passionate commitment to a cause.

 OK, so not my best card I ever made. Ever had a picture in your mind how you wanted it to look and then were disappointed in the outcome, but became so invested in it that you just couldn't give up on it either. Yeah, that was me yesterday...all day...

 

I used the CCR to cut the banner out of the doily shape, which means I laid one cut on top of another without removing it from my cutting mat. I really love the CCR!! Each banner flag is lifted up with Helmars Liquid Scrapdots.
