This Alpha Z=Zipper card was an 'on the road' make. I bought a zipper at a resale shop expecting to play and do something mixed media with it, until I saw the Teapot Tuesday challenge for today. So, I made Susan a camping themed card. The DP was a RAK from Precious Kitty (Jan) and that includes what I used for the tent. I added the zipper and opened the flaps on the front of my tent to let some air in : ) I grew up camping, we went all over and my favorite memory was the YMCA camp of the Rockies and Rocky Mountain National Park. I hope this card will put a smile on Susan's face and hope the cards bring her some comfort! Hugs Karen- so sorry you have to watch your DD go thru this! Will say prayers for you as well!

this is fabulous... never thought of using a real zipper on a card... I will definitely keep this in mind for a dimensional card.. (I love getting ideas like this from craft buddies)

Very clever to combine these two challenges. Reminds me of the zipper for the door flap of a tent, for sure.

Shelly, this is adorable and a real zipper to boot!! What a fabulous idea. I love this and I'm so glad I'll get to see it IRL! Beautiful DSP too.
Thank you for making this for Susan. I'm sure she will love it.

Camping in tall trees in the mountains is the BEST! and your card totally captures that. Love that you added "Coleman" to the tent and it made me chuckle. Great dp and a fun unzipped tent = a wonderful card that I'm sure Susan will love too.
