Petite Inspiration Box Swap

I decorated a few matchboxes for a petite inspiration box swap for Valentine's. I made 3 of them; this is all three of them together- one in pink, one in red, and one in white (perfect for Valentine's):
I used rhinestone buttons on the boxes, which is why I wanted to share them with you. I also filled the boxes with several goodies; buttons are amongst them:

One World One Heart Giveaway Kit

Hello fellow button floozies! I put an art kit together, and I included buttons in the kit (of course!). :)

I also included a Friendship Tag Book in the kit:

I used buttons as embellishments. *grin*You can see more pictures of the book here.
This is the entire kit together:

I'm giving this kit away on my blog for the One World One Heart event. "What's that?" you ask? Look here for details, and leave a comment there to have a chance to win this kit.

Have a great day and do stop by to visit me sometime...I know many of you but there are still a lot of you Button Floozies that I haven't met yet. :0)

Happy New Year!

I did these for a button jewelry swap, top and bottom photos are of a bracelet of buttons on an old zipper, an old zipper and buttons made into a brooch, button earrings and last a simple large button mounted on a bail and necklace! Looking forward to the new year and the new creative ideas from this blog and others!! Have a Safe and Happy New Year!

Vintage Beauties

These beauties come from a factory that closed down. It beats me how a factory that produces such gorgeousness can go out of business.....

Gorgeous buttons from the 1940s and 50s...

I bought 80 cards.....

Autumn Crafting

I've been itching to get this post up on time to celebrate the Autumn season. I haven't had time to do any crafting this season (to find out why not look here), but I still pulled out some warm & cozy colored Autumn supplies to stare at.
I love staring at them. Especially the buttons. :)

Belle of France!

Here is the Belle of France! I had so much fun creating this Marie Antoinette Christmas Button Fairy this weekend. I wanted my fairy to be different from the traditional. So, I called on the lady of "Let them eat cake!" I so hope that my swap partner loves Marie! "Let them eat fruitcake!". Joyeux Noel!

BOO...

Yeah! Everybody knows that!
