My Fall in Love with Buttons 2012 Swap tin - sent and received

My partner, Tamra, and I have sent and received our tins in the Fall in Love with Buttons 2012 Swap!  Here's the one she made for me:

 

Isn't it lovely?  She decoupaged it in Fall shades of green and brown -- and just LOOK at the gorgeous selection of buttons she sent!

Here's a peek at the inside

and the bottom; she used buttons for feet!  Tamra also gifted me that hand made barrette made of buttons!  How sweet is that?  I don't have any button barrettes, so it is really special!

Here's the tin I made for Tamra.  I used fall themed papers, ribbons, and a bit of lace.  She said she liked vintage, like me, so I decorated the top with lace, vintage millinery flower pieces, and a very pretty old button.

Here's how I did the inside: very simple with papers and felt leaves.  Sitting next to it is a card of vintage orange buttons I included, tied to a Fall-themed tag.

Here's the bottom of the box, and, on the right, the front of that tag.

Here's a photo of the buttons I included in her Fall mix.

This was SUCH a fun swap!
