you must do the following:
Take this picture . . .
and create something with it.
A banner, a hanging, an ATC,
a piece of jewelry, a tag, a card . . . anything!
Print the picture and place it in a frame -
it doesn't have to be fancy!
I started by painting
the headbands
and flowers
the headbands
and flowers
Next step:
Just use your imagination.
The possibilities are endless.
You have inspiration all around you.
After all . . . that's what our blogs do
- they inspire us.
This can be as simple
or as elaborate as you like.
Then take a picture of your creation.
There are no rules.
Well - except one.
You must be in the picture too.
WHAT??
This was a stumper
How am I going to do that?
WHAT??
This was a stumper
How am I going to do that?
Can you see me?
OOPS
I misunderstood
the whole
"you have to be in the picture"
so I put myself in the photo
instead of taking my picture
with what I created
Not perfect but I'm learning
What I need to figure out is
how to give my face
the same coloring
and how to shade
Jo, How fun! I couldn't make my brain think of anything to do w/the picture, so I opted not to do the rush. I guess I'm there in spirit, instead. This turned out great. I have absolutely no time to do much reading, blogging, etc. I am trying to get things done around the house in preparation for a par-tay coming up soon. AAAGGGHHH.... Why do I do this to myself? I am still gonna hit Tipp on Sat. Maybe I'll see ya. hugs, Sue
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Sista...I'm still working on mine :D

Oh, this was wonderful! We're both so wonderful! I put my head on my picture too! I've got to take my photos today! You've made it and now you're a sorority sister! I'll be one soon!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia :)
Love your wonderful picture. The frame and the friends sign are just perfect. Got mine all ready to post too. Such fun. Glad to call you a Sorority Sister. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThis is great, what an idea!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Oh JO! That is just awesome! I love the way you painted the flowers in their hair and getting your photo in the photograph, all perfect!
ReplyDeleteNancy
Oh my gosh...You, Marty and Sheila are all on the same page. This was a GREAT IDEA and I totally missed it!
ReplyDeleteI don't even have my post up yet!
Glad to have you as a new SISTA!
xoRebecca
Very cute. I could have never figured out how to do the insert picture thing!!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be lots of fun...have a great weekend sister!!
Of like minds we are sister but I like your idea of putting it in the friends frame!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to think how I made my face the same tone as the rest. I did it in photoshop. I think first I flattened the image and then applied the sepia tone to the photo. I can't really remember the steps in order, I just kept doing and undoing, redoing until I liked how it looked!!
xxoo
Your Sassy Sorority Sista!
Sista Jo I love it. I would have put my pic in there but I don't how to do that. My avatar is my face on the body of the Queen Mother that my son did for me. Glad to get to know you.

Yes, I do see you...and I love the "FRIENDS" added touch. That's so clever.
ReplyDeleteMy 'framed work for initiation/rush' is now posted---scroll down below the flower photos! Do come by if you have time today, I'd love to have you visit with me.
Hootin' Anni's SHADES OF SUMMER
I love it! You computer-y Sistas need to do a little tutorial for all us non-computer-y Sistas! LOL! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh, gosh - that is so cute! Nice to meet you, Sister.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike, I also put my pic on the rush photo! Hugs from a Sorority Sister!
ReplyDeleteSorority Sisters think alike, so many of us put our picture in the group pic. Yours is really cute too. Love how you decorated the frame too.
ReplyDeleteHi, from New Jersey! I think that was a grand idea that many of our sisters thought of, very creative. Very pretty frame, love it. Can't wait for the rest of the upcoming events. Enjoy the rest of the party.

xoJoAnne
Love it! Connie
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness...what a clever sister you are! Your project is gorgeous, and I love the whole look of your blog. I see you're as thrilled about having your picture taken as I am...we're both hiding behind our cameras. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a Mad Tea Party this week, too. I'm a fairly new blogger, but would have started years ago if I'd known it was this much fun!
Thanks for stopping by my site. I'll be back to visit again soon...

ReplyDeletegood job, sista!
Barb
Stopping by from New Friend Friday! Ha you are so funny I think it is cute you put yourself in the photo! It is great!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the little splashes of color that you added to the photo, and the finished frame and "friends" is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBTW - - - I didn't take the time yet to READ about it, but that MEAT dish in post directly below this one looks YUMMY!!!
Keetha from The Eclectic Company
Hello and so nice to meet you!! What a wonderful project! Your painting work really added so much to the photo :0)
ReplyDeleteJo - I LOVE IT! I think it is too cute the way some of our sisters interpreted my "You must be in the photo too". How fun is that?
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job . . . I really like how you framed it and then added the "friends" across the front! Perfect!
Love your blog - the graphics are outstanding!
Enjoy the party! Karen :)
That's nice.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you misinterpreted at all. I think a good percentage understood it to mean how you took it and the other percentage took it another way. It all adds to our individuality! xx
Hello there Sista. I am just now getting to finish up the loonnngggg sisters list! You did a great job on your R*U*S*H project!! I put myself in the picture too! I am so excited about our sorority and all the F*U*N we will have!

So clever of you to get right in there with the girls! I love the way you have framed it as well.
ReplyDeleteJo...Your rush project was so clever! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteI need to make a run to Dollar Tree--I do lots of "dollar store decorating", but I don't remember seeing a frame this cute! Love what you did with it all!

Greetings from one of your sorority sisters from Pennsylvania. Love what you did! I love Dollar Tree and have seen many nice frames off and on. Your post is so funny too. Hope you can stop by my blog soon.
