    Dear Nichol – This is super and thanks for the video. To me, the house on the left looks more toward Victorian or even a church outline, but I guess it could play the role of farmhouse.
    Very pretty tableau. I love it!!

    I just cannot believe your creative brain sometimes. I saw that wood plank and thought. OMG to make one full panel I’d have to die cut it so many times. Never once thought “oh what a great mantel.” Amazing card and I have many of these products already on the way. Love it!!!
