Paper clips, binder clips, staples, brads, etc. - and we were encouraged not be afraid to try something new!I actually read the challenge before bed and intended to think about it the next day - but I just couldn't sleep. I was called to my sewing box, thinking... snaps? eyelet hooks? When I found the zipper, I just knew... So here it is, 12:30am (I'm on the west coast of Canada) and I've just finished the challenge. I hope you appreciate the lack of sleep this challenge caused me! LOL (Yes, I'm a little obsessive about card-making... let me tell you, this ain't the first late night - and it sure won't be the last!)
When I'd finished sewing the zipper, the little tabs were sticking out the top. While I've left them there, I'm wondering if I should trim them off... what do you think?
The blue textured cardstock is CTMH's textured blue. I love it for it's white core which, when you sand it, looks like denim. I love the look. I just wish I could buy a pack of just the blue textured paper (they only sell it in the combo packs)
The rub-ons are also CTMH, the ½ pearls are Kaiser Craft & the pretty purple paper is sei (from Michael's). The white 'blouse' is cuttlebugged (Swiss Dots) and lace-punched. The 'brooch' is a found object (broken jewelery).
I should be able to sleep now... challenge complete!
Cheers,

OMG!!! This may be the coolest card I've ever seen! I love all of your attention to details. I wouldn't cut the taps off. I think it adds something to the card. It is just downright fabulous!!
OMG Carolyn - leave the tabs on there! How much fun! It just makes the zipper aspect pop even more - this should be a winner for sure!!! Great job!
This is an awesome card!! I love the zipper!!
WOWZA!! I love this card!! Wonderful attention to detail!! Very unique!
Wow, that is a brilliant idea. I might do something similar for birthday card for Grandad. It would make a great cardigan card.
Very, very clever and so late at night too !!!
Well done sweetheart xxx
Thanks for visiting my blog today.
This is a totally awsome card and I agree with the other person who thinks you should get COTW for it!
Yeah, I have to agree with all the other comments - this is one amazing card. Who'd a thunk - a zipper in card making!! Wow!! TFS
SO brilliant! You rocked this challenge like a champ!
WOW. This is fabulous. I love your thinking. I think you should leave the little tabbies. They kinda look like tank top straps.
Wow! Very cool!
Thanks for visiting my blog - you are more than welcome to use my cupcake card idea - I'd be honoured. I have to say that I am blown away by your bind it card - feel a brad for a cherry doesn't live up to this LOL ;)
