I have had an absolute nightmare of a time today with my internet showing as disconnected with a nasty flashing orange light instead of solid green for go.
Im on of sorts but in between AVG doing an upgrade, Windows 10 constantly trying to install (with me cancelling it PDQ) and sorting out what is going on with my router I'm rather late for the Christmas Card Club where we show our makes every fortnight following a different christmas theme each time.
The theme today is Star of Wonder or anything goes and was chosen by Zoe. I have had to delve into my unposted items as I have not been able to make anything with the above going on. I remembered a Christmas Button Book I made for a swap in Oct 2014 which I had never gotten around to showing and two of the pages in it came to my rescue so here they are. Each page of the book was either depicting a nursery rhyme or a song and I had used buttons to illustrate.
I had found these gorgeous buttons for sale in a fabric shop
and immediately thought of shooting stars (as one does)
and knew I had some star type resin shapes to go with them.
The background scene is part of a 12" x 12" design paper that
a friend had sent me from America and this was all I had over.
All that was left for me to do was create in word and print off the words.
(I'm pretty sure the song was by Perry Como.)
So come on show your age and sing along too!!!
The same shop had these crystal snowflakes
so into the bag they went too.
The background is navy pearlescent card put through
a star embossing folder called Twinkle by Crafts -Too
A few white sequins and the rhyme to match.
Hope these will suffice Zoe.

I have the same deal with Win10 always wanting me to install. (I did, but reverted back to 7 in about 5 days!) Good luck with the internet woes too. Love this look. And I do know the song. Someone else had mentioned Falling Stars, and it was in my brain all evening. Ok, because I loved Perry! Your buttons are beautiful against that starry paper (which I have some I think!- didn't think to use it!) Love the resin 'tails' on your stars. You've come up aces again...and brilliant find on the buttons! TFS & Hugs. Hope the week is good for you.
What beautiful makes valery...those shooting star buttons are amazing! Lovely. Hugs x
Very rare to see a shooting start, but you are spoiling us with two.
Great cards.

I listened to Perry Como when I was little with my dad. He would always sing "Catch a Falling Star". Oh the horrors of technology! It certainly has a mind of it's own. Lovely cards.
Fabulous way to use your buttons Valery......hope you are sorted out with your computer now....sorry I am late commenting just back from Hay after the christening..at least the sun shone xxxxxx
Your falling stars are simply beautiful. The glitter shine on the buttons is so pretty. I loved Perry Comos laid back style and always watched his show. Nice memories and now I will be singing that song in my head all day.
You might as well be speaking a foreign language when it comes to computer speak. I do know router, that's all!
This is wonderful, sorry to hear that the internet issues still continue. Hope all is better now.
Great take on the challenge Mrs A...and well rescued. Hope your internet is behaving now. Carol x
