All White!!!!!!!

Evening

Yippee for Friday !

Ok I am here with my Little Miss Muffet DT post and I have moved to the FaceBook Team so you can find me posting  there too every Friday!!

This week it's a new challenge and the theme is 'It'll be all white on the night'!   I confess to being a bit flummoxed but it came good in the end, I found some beautiful glittered vellum in my stash and I used lots of cheesecloth and organza ribbon for a nice soft look!
