She had thousands of cards, each measuring approximately 9 inches by 11 inches. Each card is filled with buttons. She used these cards to organize her collection according to various types, styles, materials, themes, etc.Some of the cards are full, and some were works in progress, and are not full. Some cards are missing buttons - either trades to other collectors, or moves to different cards, or competition cards. When she created a competition card (also called a “tray”), she would select buttons from her collection cards.
