Hello friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do hope you had a good Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ours was lovely, we indulged in lots of food, some drink </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the all important chocolates!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed taking a few days out but back to it...<br />
Today's blog post is to announce some changes ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For some time I've been running two blogs, duplicating over each time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to Creativity Continues and <a href="http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/">Hope and Chances</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From now on there will just be the one blog - <a href="http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/">Hope and Chances</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been busy putting everything under the same <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/">Hope and Chances</a> umbrella.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had considered re-branding but we like the name and we are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
steadily becoming known for being the 'home for all things Spellbinders'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/"><img border="0" data-original-height="387" data-original-width="868" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOWntB22TatJdUrRo3Nv1O9xKbfVdnuc70H3GZ2xAyJu1livSZ1VDlhm7i5QrizFE0S-B7Vinmkx4LIpkDSkyX2k27wljoVX6HfUaxQEJ8C5d19STSovLuEtvRoVeeO-wt8FPTmeL-Foo/s640/Blog.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/">Hope and Chances blog</a> has had a little makeover,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it coordinates with the website and we have also made the link buttons</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a brighter colour and updated all the social media links.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are on <a href="https://twitter.com/HopeandChances">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HopeandChances/">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.pinterest.co.uk/HopeandChances/">Pinterest</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also see a email link on the blog, the little envelope, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we always try to respond very speedily to emails.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLfvAvZ-JVyQr0o4KcAWo1dlwA2qJZD5-OQzeHz2J2irgIEBLR_LNAP4mZ0xOR3UUgJBakdbhZ2dFMPLfxZ6c39GWi7Nf_cRA3VEqp60-lyJjDuC-NxL20hyphenhyphensIt4CLDOQU4-uSwReDBg/s1600/Links.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="61" data-original-width="172" height="70" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLfvAvZ-JVyQr0o4KcAWo1dlwA2qJZD5-OQzeHz2J2irgIEBLR_LNAP4mZ0xOR3UUgJBakdbhZ2dFMPLfxZ6c39GWi7Nf_cRA3VEqp60-lyJjDuC-NxL20hyphenhyphensIt4CLDOQU4-uSwReDBg/s200/Links.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you know, just those changes took me hours, Elliott stepped in and did </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
most of it in minutes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So hopefully you will not mind, after today there will be a permanent button </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
link on this blog that you can click to reroute you to the <a href="http://hope-chances.blogspot.co.uk/">Hope and Chances blog</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I'm not deleting this blog as it has so many posts and projects</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it will just stay as it is).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you friends for always being so supportive and see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you a click way!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are we feeling festive or frazzled?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How are your Christmassy plans going?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is a festive idea using maps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I designed these cards for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and also</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recreated them to send to my special friends in Iowa and Chicago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a full tutorial on the Scrapbook Adhesives blog <a href="https://www.scrapbook-adhesives.com/blog/2017/12/19/sending-piece-home-christmas-cards/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I realise your cards are probably all made, written and sent by now</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but perhaps an idea for next year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas here...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished up my city job last night although I am working in London</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
between Christmas and New Year, I actually don't mind going in as</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the city is so quiet and the commute takes half the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elliott and I did a big food shop late one night and we managed to avoid</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lots of crowds. We've probably forgotten some items</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I've decided that's fine, we really have enough to last us a week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not just a couple of days!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are still working right up to Christmas with <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/">Hope and Chances</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
truthfully it's hard not to, we don't like to leave anything unfinished!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep an eye on the <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/product-category/spellbinders/pre-loved-spellbinders-spellbinders/">Pre-Loved</a>, that's a job on the list for today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to be signing off from blog posts for a few days,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to be spending an inordinate amount of time in my kitchen!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is an opportunity to say ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello friends</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not long now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time next week we will still be eating turkey I'm sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's Friday Die Day is <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/amazing-paper-grace-collection/lilly-pearl-fold-flowerborder/" target="_blank">Lilly Pearl Fold/Flower Border.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A clever die set that works so well as flowers and an effective scallop border.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/amazing-paper-grace-collection/lilly-pearl-fold-flowerborder/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/amazing-paper-grace-collection/lilly-pearl-fold-flowerborder/" border="0" data-original-height="452" data-original-width="781" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKMSr1AaXF7M6B5HBC2CigoG6sC9WfqR7mVQeevkfKGvCPDDC6zAEI1UDU4XnTTPawnWZqEh3Bf6CoUcAU-ik4eWu8-YfmiBNj7cKRif8Xt4m9hNQO42rvWAUqF3SRA4jPGGm5V0s1ths/s320/S4-819-Chantilly-Paper-Lace-Becca-Feeken-Lilly-Pearl-Flat-Fold-Flower-Border-Etched-Dies__66887_1595916.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Three dies in the set and the approximate measurements are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Small Flower/Border: 6.00 x 0.75 in. 15.2 x 1.9 cm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Medium Flower/Border: 6.00 x 0.90 in. 15.20 x 2.30 cm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Large Flower/Border: 6.30 x 1.20 in. 16.00 x 3.00 cm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how they look cut/embossed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gosh I've been busy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apologies for the erratic blog posts, with being away at the weekend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everything in Blogland got a little behind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a great time at Sir Stampalot, two busy workshops</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and lots of lovely ladies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoy doing workshops, there was a couple of very new crafters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I love seeing the wonder on their face with their creations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the most popular projects was this card using <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/christmas/gilded-ornaments/" target="_blank">Gilded Ornaments</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are still available on the website both <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/christmas/gilded-ornaments/" target="_blank">new</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/christmas/gilded-ornaments-pre-loved/" target="_blank">pre-loved</a> <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/?s=gilded+ornaments&post_type=product" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

We really are on the countdown to Christmas now,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've yet to marzipan and ice my cake and also need to wrap gifts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I should have put aside an hour or two but instead caught up </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with some episodes of Kirstie's Handmade Christmas - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are you watching it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I find it fascinating even if some of the projects are very ambitious</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and require a kiln, forge or a trip to Lapland!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take care friends and don't forget Wednesdays is giveaway day!</div>

Hello friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's card features more beautiful dies designed by <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/product-category/spellbinders/marisa-job/" target="_blank">Marisa Job</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from her <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/product-category/spellbinders/marisa-job/" target="_blank">Thoughtful Expressions collection</a>.<br />
<a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/marisa-job/thoughtful-expressions-god-bless-you-cross-pre-order-arriving-november-2017/" target="_blank">God Bless You</a>, <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/marisa-job/thoughtful-expressions-mosaic-vine/" target="_blank">Mosaic Vine</a> and <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/marisa-job/thoughtful-expressions-succulent-and-mum-flower/" target="_blank">Succulent and Mum Flower</a>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've chosen to use silver mirror card as a mat onto a white card front,<br />
some marble paper from my scrap box as a second mat.<br />
God Bless You also cut from silver mirror card and one of the <br />
Mosaic Vines. I adore this foliage set, the petals and scrolls are so pretty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuW3IlWYcAKT1tBK2SSn5zqFEkF6xV-Q-uYWoOwSlTBKcgVLQVUdaDhp1sUiiHnsuEwp0A89HIZ3Evc1nnkbOnsLA6b_VQ-6VdpF7y8kNgacGH-UqQnsQ2T3wC658tiy9k75_yadcGJU/s1600/IMG_9154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1183" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsuW3IlWYcAKT1tBK2SSn5zqFEkF6xV-Q-uYWoOwSlTBKcgVLQVUdaDhp1sUiiHnsuEwp0A89HIZ3Evc1nnkbOnsLA6b_VQ-6VdpF7y8kNgacGH-UqQnsQ2T3wC658tiy9k75_yadcGJU/s640/IMG_9154.JPG" width="472" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then cut Succulent and Mum Flowers, yes it is the distress inks out in force again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm finding it really relaxing colouring these flowers.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXJt6oKxRrX4iX5xXeHUIXMfN3KB-ZVsaLQdP5Oysp-3Pg7om9HM7BEASg81GXm9MliG0QRdwnZtAEUcRJ4IXi1EGPSqwNKX25TE8Sigb0yWJU_kM7fF-OWLwxX61QObGcaXd1-oKWL4/s1600/IMG_9158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoXJt6oKxRrX4iX5xXeHUIXMfN3KB-ZVsaLQdP5Oysp-3Pg7om9HM7BEASg81GXm9MliG0QRdwnZtAEUcRJ4IXi1EGPSqwNKX25TE8Sigb0yWJU_kM7fF-OWLwxX61QObGcaXd1-oKWL4/s640/IMG_9158.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was then just a case of positioning them in a cluster with the Mosaic Vine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some ribbon in the corner of my card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was very nearly a bow you know...!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheV2Tlz9ssjyJVMwoEACB-KYm4k3xf_GbBDLTT_eZJTvm0xLCxqcDJrwk-dHEy9xTinxkAHe2xQC1kpRGtm0D0-vRufOAwQExcgZ9t5RR1dK6sWqqul5Og47QdStz4vpFMlOA_TJrLz4E/s1600/IMG_9156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1225" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheV2Tlz9ssjyJVMwoEACB-KYm4k3xf_GbBDLTT_eZJTvm0xLCxqcDJrwk-dHEy9xTinxkAHe2xQC1kpRGtm0D0-vRufOAwQExcgZ9t5RR1dK6sWqqul5Og47QdStz4vpFMlOA_TJrLz4E/s640/IMG_9156.JPG" width="490" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As mentioned before, just by switching the flower colour to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
reds and this would make an effective Christmas card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm a little behind this year but catching up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never correctly anticipate how long it takes to do the gift wrapping,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one evening is never enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How are your festive plans going?</div>

Hello friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's the most festive flower?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I think it has to be the Poinsettia - do you agree?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
very effective cards with minimal effort, believe me because</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not a stamper! </div>

matting, stamping and using pens to colour.</div>

Hello friends</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week's Friday Die Day features <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/marisa-job/thoughtful-expressions-blessings-vine-frame/" target="_blank">Blessings Vine Frame</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A very pretty two piece die set, the frame and the sentiment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/marisa-job/thoughtful-expressions-blessings-vine-frame/" target="_blank"><img alt="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/marisa-job/thoughtful-expressions-blessings-vine-frame/" border="0" data-original-height="585" data-original-width="750" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoWOp58Wyxark0ZOX8QH5FAKSvyotusgPrJI3bvGvsyDewUVt7pEeLsIw06UEmLaiviY1zE4s7NcOq2GmoIPyJyOqmIRuyFrVBOgl67vwZac14jibtg4NuTS3wCkVtn8NDUs2v1fxTjTg/s320/S5-336-Thoughtful-Expressions.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The approximate measurements are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blessings: 2.10 x 0.70 in. 5.30 x 1.80 cm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vine Frame: 5.60 x 4.30 in. 14.20 x 10.90 cm </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is how they look cut/embossed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've chosen to cut both from white cardstock and get out my distress inks again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm getting a lot of mileage out of my distress inks at the moment,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they got forgotten for a while but now I'm having fun revisiting them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I applied multiple colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aiming for a warmish effect.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mounted the frame onto a piece of pale patterned paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then affixed both to my card front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I would go vertical, the frame looks great used both ways.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added a cluster of flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are Textured Flowers, coming back in stock soon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment 'Blessings' inked and attached.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These weeks leading up to Christmas despite being busy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are my favourite time of year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just sense that people are that little bit happier, sharing smiles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas brings with it family traditions, certain foods (Twiglets!),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
jolly jumpers and always trying to put a festive hat on the dog/cat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the weekend our tree went up and the final decorations added last night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One decoration in the Emberson household is a garland that really started</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as a piece of string/cord and decorations get added each year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We joke that it is going to be too heavy at some point for the mere drawing pins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that hold it in place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you have a length of cord, ribbons (of course you do, you're a crafter!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and some left over tree decorations I urge you to start a garland.</div>

My day at Waddeston Manor with my friends was wonderful,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it rained but that did not stop us having lots of fun.</div>

Back to crafty-land and today, it is all about shaking!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I rarely make shaker projects and yet I've made a couple in the last week or so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card is for a workshop I'm doing at <a href="http://www.sirstampalot.co.uk/class-schedule.php" target="_blank">Sir Stampalot in Peterborough soon</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and features <a href="http://hopeandchances.co.uk/shop/christmas/snowflake-snippets/" target="_blank">Snowflake Snippets</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/golden-snowflake-shaker/" target="_blank">Becca Feeken</a> who designed this die set has also made a larger version</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of this card, I kept it a little smaller so it was speedier for the class.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used adhesive sheets to affix the die cut onto acetate and the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
outer die to create the frames in the card mat.</div>
