Fussy and Fancy Friday Final Post

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well.

Today is, I'm sad to say,  the last post for

 Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge.

After many wonderful years it has been decided that

 this wonderful challenge will not continue in the New Year.  

I've so enjoyed my time with this

lovely, talented group of crafters.  Thank you Nikki and Beth for all the work you have

done for us and I wish everyone all the best going forward.

Our theme is "Christmas / New Year"

This is one of my favourite cards this year.

I love the navy and silver combo and my new Stampin Up

embossing folder....looks just like a knit sweater.

Mirror card is always so difficult to photograph so I apologize for

the poor quality.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
