Sisterhood of the Traveling Bloggerettes


When I saw that Karen at Some Days Are Diamonds
was initiating a Blogging Sorority
I just had to join in with the fun.



Our "Rush Project" was to take this photo...




And use it in a way of our choosing.

And since I really find that paper collage is my first love,
I dug through all my vintage die cuts and post cards, stamps,
and images to put together what I wanted to look like a
sorority girl's college bulletin board.


And of course...
it had to be pink!






Oh, and another part of rush
was to include our photo with our project!



Add a little antique lace for a ribbon hanger.




I'm even wearing my pink "pledge ribbon"!


The sorority is still open,
just stop by Karen's to join!
No snooty cliques here!
She has lots of plans for "girlfriend" fun.



OK, is everbody ready for the "car wash"?

  47. Hey Deb,
    I forgot to tell you how adorable your picture turned out. I should of thought of that. My computer froze up for 4 hours trying to print the picture out. So I had to let you know I had problems too. I am with you on that one. I downloaded a photoshop free trial thinking I was going to do all these fancy designs to the picture and it froze my computer to where I couldn't even print it out with nothing done to it. Any how yours turned out adorable. Sorry about the problems you were having as well. Kath'

  57. Hi Debra,

    I just found your blog...we are sure on common ground because as I read the first line...'Share my life & journey with God', I said "WOW" she must be my twin sister because that's exactly why I blog.

    Your RUSH art is awesome! Very creative you are.
    Have a blessed weekend sister.

  66. Hello sis and I am so happy to be your new sister. I ask you to forgive me for pasting the same message on all of the sorority sisters bloggys as I am never a “cut and paster” but with the recent death of my son, I am overwhelmed right now and just wanted everyone of my new sisters to know I am following you and hope I will soon be able to truly visit you so we will get to know each other as a sister should. Thanks for visiting me. Mollye
