Just Us Girls - WILDCARD Challenge

It's a WILD week for our WILDCARD challenge,
and I'm WILD about being the hostess,
so let's get busy! With ZIPPERS! {I know.}
JUST US GIRLS are making art with Zippers!



Not EXACTLY something I wanted to promote in the title of
this post - we get enough flack for our catchy acronym... {!}
But SERIOUSLY, crazy GOOGLE traffic warning aside - Zippers
are HOT! MY job, is to entice and inspire crafters to MAKE
stuff with zippers! I'm hopeful that you might be coaxed into
ALL KINDS OF CREATIONS, but one of the hottest crafting
trends, continues to be ZIPPER FLOWERS! Either way, show
THEM to me! Make something, share it and WE will swoon!

Post THIS flashy graphic and MAKE MY DAY!
{I MADE it! ~ I know. ~ GRAPHICS = not my
area of expertise....} But every now and then, I'm
compelled to wing it! This one wasn't too bad, so
I'll be EXCITED to see it on YOUR blog! So, PLAY!


See - ZIPPER ART is FUN!

Here's MORE proof!

Dana
Maria
Lynn
Kathryn
Andrea
and
MARISA,
our wonderful guest designer for the month of March!
I was positively INSPIRED by her this month -
THANK YOU, dear gal - it WAS a pleasure!



YUM! This was a fun one to make -
I hadn't planned to go GRAPE, but
that's what "the zippers told me to do!"

{!}

Seriously, when my supplies talk...
I listen!

Hope to see you... around!
{I'm clasping my hands so I don't write too much
- it's so tempting to make a play on the whole zipper thing,
but I just DON'T want to tempt the spam GODS,
so I HAVE to be good. Anywhoo, if you know me,
you can probably hear what I'd be saying, anyhow!}

LOL!

What an amazing creation, and I'm just gawking at all those zipper flowers!!! They're hot hot hot!! I like the poster you created too, and I'd share it on my blog, but I don't have a single zipper in the house.....except for the ones on my baggies, and that's not quite what you're looking for :) Very creative work ELise, I'm VERY impressed with your idea!!
