Paddle

As many of you know, I belong to a sorority called Sigma Lambda Gamma. This is where I get my blog name from (Gamma is our nickname) :) In sororities you have a big and later on you get your own little. I joined the sorority in Fall 2007 and I got my first and only little in Fall 2008. As sisters we make each other things and I have been wanting to finish this paddle for my little and I finally finished. It takes time because when you buy the materials to make the paddle everything is not colored and you have to glue everything on the paddle.

In my sorority we each have our own little family and I belong in Las Divas, so the paddle has a lot of bling.

My lighting in my room is not that great, so sorry for the bad quality pictures.

Since I made my blog way after I gave my little in my sorority her gifts, I still would like to share them with you all.

During the process of becoming a Gamma, you are told who your big is in a ceremony and you get gifts from your big. These are the gifts I gave my little during the ceremony.

Close ups of some of the gifts in her bag...

Once my little became a sister, I gave her some more gifts.I forgot to take close ups:(

Graduation Cards

In 7 months I will be a college graduate, so that means student teaching in August! I had so much fun attending graduations and making cards for my friends and sisters who just graduated.

I made this card for my line sister. Her family pattern is zebra print, so I used the school colors on top and our sorority colors on the bottom.

I used the Hello Kitty Font cartridge for the numbers and the cap is from the Wrap It Up cartridge.

This a picture of my me with my line sisters and the graduates.

The cap is the same one I used from Wrap It Up and the numbers are from Birthday Bash.

Mod Podge

I made a frame and a door hanger for one of my sorority sisters using paper, tissue paper, and mod podge. I have never used mod podge and it was one of the easiest things to use. I usually always paint my wood, but since I always saw my sister using mod podge on paper, I figured that it would work on wood.
