Hello everyone! Here are a few cards that I made for Easter.<br />
I am late posting these but I thought you might like to see them.<br />
<br />
The first card has a mini cupcake liner so it has great dimension.<br />

Hello Everyone!<br />
It has been a while since I posted. Today I have some children's birthday cards to share with you.<br />
I have had these Wall Art pieces for a long time. I decided to use them to create a fun birthday card. My motto is if you're making one you might as well make several. Hope you enjoy them!<br />

Hi Everyone,<br />
Computer issues have kept me away for a while. In the mean time I have been really busy<br />
creating and crafting. I have been working on lots of Valentine cards.<br />
I will post some each day for the next few days.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Everyone!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> My card today was inspired by a card done by Deb over on startascrapbook.com.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can see Deb's card here www.startascrapbook.com/community/showthread.php?24746-2015-Challenge-2/page2</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used a piece of paper that had just the black outline of the daisies. I cut it out and adhered it to a piece of Colorbok Pearlescent Paper that was sold in a pad of 20 sheets at Ross for $3.99. Then I ran it through my Cuttlebug using a Spellbinders embossing folder. I looks like branches. The folder did not go the full length of the card stock so I used a different folder and embossed a small portion of it on the bottom. After that is was a matter of "gilding the lilly". I used a canary Duo Daubber to color the centers of the flowers. I punched out an oval from the Colorbok paper and a label from an EK Success punch. I added Stickles to the flower centers, inked the edges of the white label, and added pearls to the sentement. I used a white heavy weight cardstock for the card base and a piece of yellow to layer it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I like the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. </span><br />

Hello everyone!<br />
Just made this card. I saw a video on You-Tube for making the diamond patterned background and wanted to give it a try. I have had my crimper for years but almost never use it.<br />
The card base is a pearlescent white, the poppy card stock is DCWV, the patterned paper is from Me & My Big Ideas,(2008). The ribbon, flowers and pearls came from my stash.<br />
<br />
This also gives me a chance to post to their color challenge #273 over at www.colourq.blogspot.com.<br />

My physical therapist says I need to use my hands to get back to normal. I started creating some projects before Christmas and I have been participating in some challenges over at www.startascrapbook.com for New Years.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
My goal is to post several times a week. I have been collecting ideas from Pinterest that I want to try</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
and share with all of you. I hope you will bear with me as I travel down this road I call my life.</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's card is this pretty hydrangea card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hydrangea is the favorite flower of my friend JoAnn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I custom colored the paper I used for the blossoms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used watercolor paper and did direct-to-paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inking on the entire sheet of paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I sprayed the entire sheet of paper with water and left it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to dry. When it was dry I punched a boat load of flowers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from the water color paper. I formed each one using</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a mouse pad and a stylus. I used several circles of scrap card stock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
layer with foam tape to add dimension to the head of the flowers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then proceeded cover them with the flowers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all of the flowers were in place and dry I added a liquid pearl</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
dot to the center of each flower.The purple border was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
punch using the Iron Rail set from Martha Stewart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tjhanks for stopping by. I appreciate the time you spend with kme</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello Everyone! It's been a busy few days around here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's card is for the <a href="http://ispysketches.blogspot.ca/">ISSC14 challenge.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In an effort to streamline some of my card making I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cut a lot of cardstock and patterned paper that was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all in very primary colors. I love the impact of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
red, white, and blue. The ribbons on the side of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the sketch reminded me of a technique I had</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
recently seen on <a href="http://stamptv.ning.com/video/ribbon-scraps">StampTV</a> using ribbon scraps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Father's Day is just around the corner and these colors always </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
make me think of our service men & women.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a Martha Stewart border punch to create the edge</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always, thanks for stopping by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hugs,</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's card is for the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lisasomerville.com/">Blogger's Challenge - Celebrating Mom, Sister, Aunt, BFF</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to do the border on the top square.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used 2 Spellbinders Dies to cut the window.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The scalloped panel at the bottom was cut</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a LifeStyle Crafts die. The floral spray was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
created using a variety of floral punches and leaf punches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The butterfly is from a Sizzix Die. I used a stylus and an embossing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
folder to create the texture on the butterfly. I colored</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the antennae with a black Sharpie. I added a girlie touch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with some half pearls and a sweet little bow from some bow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from my stash.</div>

I am so glad that you stopped by.</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's post is this sweet little "Thank You!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sticky Note Pad that closes to carry in your purse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can see these done in a variety of colors and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
used as favors for a variety of occasions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dimensions for this one are: a 3 x 3 sticky</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pad will fit into the center. The celery card stock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is cut to 3" x 7 3/4". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is then scored at 3", 3 1/2", 6 1/2", and 7".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After printing the cream cardstock it was cut in 2 1/2"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
squares. I ran the cardstock through my Cuttlebug</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
using the top right hand corner of the Bird Call</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
embossing folder by Cuttlebug.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flower is stitched on using crochet cotton.</div>

I appreciate your coming by to check out</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's card is rather simple but I think it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
would brighten anyone's birthday. It has</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a lot of the same elements of yesterday's card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The same LifeStyles Crafts scalloped rectangle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am playing with a new technique that I hope to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
share with you soon. It needs a little tweeking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my knockoff of Becca Feeken's </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Peg Bow Maker to make the bow. I found</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
these straight pins at JoAnn's a year or so ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by.</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's card uses another Memory Box Die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first punched it out I was disappointed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because it was in a ton of pieces but,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after my initial response I realized</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the negative was gorgeous. Using my ATG</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I covered the back of the flower portion with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
adhesive and then added glitter. The scalloped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rectangle is for LifeStyle Crafts. Layered and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
embellished it is complete and ready for the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
birth, of a friend's little girl, this week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by!</div>

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just received like 14 new dies and I have been dying to play with them </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I saw the die I could see this card with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with the Poppy Die from Memory Box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to get to work and keep up with the new</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
techniques everyone is trying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tanks for stopping in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems like forever since I posted. It has</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
been crazy busy for me but, I am glad</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be back. I created this card a week ago</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and am just getting around to posting it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a trip to one of my favorite place, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Fabric Barn, in Long Beach, CA I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had these adorable little teddy bears and they just</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
screamed to be made into a baby card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only tools I used were my paper trimmer, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
scissors, black pen, some wire cutters, and some </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
adhesive. You can't see it in the photo but, the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
white of the base card and the layers is a pearlescent card </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stock. I tied the bow with my knock-off of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Becca Feeken's Peg Bow Maker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the ruffle to size and adhered it to the front panel, then</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the bow with adhesive dots. I layered the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sentiment block, added the teddy bears after drawing in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
their mouths and eyes, and finally inserted the pins and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
snipped off the tips so they wouldn't be sharp. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last thing to do was add some foam tape to the back </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the fron tpanel to add dimension.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To me the ruffle and bow reminds me of a little girl's skirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always, I appreciate you spending a little time with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hugs, </div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My step-mom, Kay, is visiting for a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
week. She has never been very crafty but,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got her knitting on a loom. Today we went</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
shopping at one of my favorite places, The Fabric Barn,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in Long Beach. I found some great little things so </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thought I would whip together a card using some</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of those items. I loved this organza gathered</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
trim and the flowers and butterflies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by. I hope</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be back again tomorrow.</div>

Hi! everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last night I watched a video by <a href="http://stamptv.ning.com/video/backgr...ssing-with-the">Gina K</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on using your score board to emboss your</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
background card stock and wanted to give it a shot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a very simple card and took about</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
an hour while watching TV, visiting with my step-mom,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and trying to figure out how to play with a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
blow-up mattress in the middle of my studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's all good. We had a nice dinner, I've had a cup of tea,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my card is finished. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the ribbon. It is stretchy. Don't know where I got</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it by I like the look. The flowers are from K&Company.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for coming by. I hope you make this a regular</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you had an amazing holiday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have the hardest time working with</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the color orange. I don't know what it is but,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
orange and I just don't get along. On today's card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to make orange the predominant color. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also cased this card from my friend <a href="http://cassie-d.blogspot.com/">Cassie</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a Fiskar's corner rounder and removed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the corner guides to punch the bottom borders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ribbon is from Big Lots, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a couple of straight pins from Joann's, and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some buttons from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lots of people are checking in but,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish more of you would say,"Hello!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hope you all had a glorious Easter.</div>

I am spending the day with my family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I will be back tomorrow with a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
new card for you. I have been spending </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
some time reorganizing my dies and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the next step is my acrylic & rubber</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stamps. I am actually thinking about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
unmounting all of my rubber stamps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I reduce the amount of space they </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
consume. God bless you all.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's card is an answer to two different challenges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One is for <a href="http://www.colourq.blogspot.com/">cQc#131</a> and the other is <a href="http://skippingstonesdesign.com/category/card-sketches">SSD122</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used four different Spellbinder's Embossing Folders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The center medallion is a paper coaster. I made</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the tulips from a flower punch from Stampin' Up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The idea for the flowers came from <a href="http://valitasfreshfolds.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/simple-punch-art-tulips.html">this blog.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The butterflies are from a Sizzlet die. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Originally, I cut out the entire outline in black</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, It was too dark on my card so, I removed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all but the body of the outline of the butterfly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It screams spring to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's another card for <a href="http://gettincrafty.typepad.com/stampin_queens_sketch_cha/">SQSC 33</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the Martha Stewart Punch All Over the Page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment block is cut with a Spellbinder's Die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flourishes are from a My Favorite Things Die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is really late or really early, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
depending on your point of view.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time take care and be good to yourself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today's card is for another challenge over</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at <a href="http://gettincrafty.typepad.com/stampin_queens_sketch_cha/">Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge</a> SQSC33.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card took about half an hour. I had</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the most trouble trying to get a good picture</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of it. I like the combination of the turquoise,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lime, and white.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't get my punch in to the center</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the card so I opted for 4 holes and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the oval tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always I thank you for taking your time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to check out my little spot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Wednesday everyone!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's card is from a tutorial I saw on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oimgLeizK0&feature=related">YouTube</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing I did differently is I used a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Martha Stewart corner and border punch to decorate</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the flap. This card is very plain unlike what I usually</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
make but I wanted to do something different tonight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by.</div>

Hello everyone! Today's card is another one</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inspired by the great sketch by Emily Keaton for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the ISSC09 challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used the Bella Blue paper pad from GCD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I turned the sketch on its side and added a few</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
embellishments. The flourishes are die cut from</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a Sizzix Die. The bow is tied from seam binding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added 2 corsage pins and snipped off the tips</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so we won't be drawing any blood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for spending some time with me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love hearing what you have to say.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hugs,</div>

Todays card is designed from </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the sketch challenge <a href="http://ispysketches.blogspot.ca/">ISSC09</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up the Bella Blue paper stack by GCD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at Hobby Lobby yesterday. I really like the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
blends of browns and blues. I also tried</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a faux stitching process. The knotted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ribbon is actually rayon seam binding</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I dyed with walnut ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by and as I look</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
forward to your comments.</div>
