GG Sample #2 and Altoid's Tin Swap

Using another awesome image from the new June products over at Gecko Galz, I created an altered Altoid's Tin for a swap over at the Circle of Friends yahoo group.  The sewing theme is an awesome one, I just love the images from Gecko Galz, as well as the paper pad from Colorbok which had the awesome ruler paper in it. Perfect for trimming this tin. I also used some sewing pattern paper that my friend Kim (artJOYstuff) provided as wrapping on a swap last month. I modged podged it into the tin. Love the look of it!

As part of the swap, we had to alter 1 tin and provide 4 cards inside.  The cards would be traded and a different tin will be returned.  Cannot wait to see what I get! Here are the cards that I used. Gecko Galz had a great image of Button Bingo. So I printed out 4 of them, and altered/aged them and added buttons.
