<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally I managed to use another browser which has enabled me to upload my pictures </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the 2nd layout for this months <a href="http://www.thescrapbookgarden.co.uk/products_new.php">design kit </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the <a href="http://welcometothescrapbookgarden.blogspot.co.uk/">Scrapbook Garden</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the technique is paint dabbers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again on this layout also I used the dabber for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 examples of its use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first was to paint up a rubber stamp with the dabber and stamp the image onto a tag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RbE2gVSGCHk/UOwzsy6MphI/AAAAAAAAFMY/ziOtuKGtZy0/s1600/IMG_8869.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RbE2gVSGCHk/UOwzsy6MphI/AAAAAAAAFMY/ziOtuKGtZy0/s320/IMG_8869.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
White on white didn't show up that well you can vaguely see the stamped image</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cpmYgKYp2IE/UOwzuWVDPzI/AAAAAAAAFMg/zsylirH_xVM/s1600/IMG_8872.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cpmYgKYp2IE/UOwzuWVDPzI/AAAAAAAAFMg/zsylirH_xVM/s320/IMG_8872.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a heat gun to set the paint</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hh2LGF93cVw/UOwzuWSCf_I/AAAAAAAAFMk/JoahFR5Opy0/s1600/IMG_8870.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Hh2LGF93cVw/UOwzuWSCf_I/AAAAAAAAFMk/JoahFR5Opy0/s320/IMG_8870.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then using a selection of distress inks I completely covered the tag </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and also the stamped image</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ej5TwNClz8g/UOw0ghTk_UI/AAAAAAAAFMw/W8tOP32F_r0/s1600/IMG_8873.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ej5TwNClz8g/UOw0ghTk_UI/AAAAAAAAFMw/W8tOP32F_r0/s320/IMG_8873.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUpo0PdKfPQ/UOw0myKMebI/AAAAAAAAFM8/HCRkBqOabhY/s1600/IMG_8874.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZUpo0PdKfPQ/UOw0myKMebI/AAAAAAAAFM8/HCRkBqOabhY/s320/IMG_8874.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then i spritzed some kitchen towel with cold water</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g6OMrLugUv4/UOw0quFaEbI/AAAAAAAAFNE/foQG0bigvJE/s1600/IMG_8875.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g6OMrLugUv4/UOw0quFaEbI/AAAAAAAAFNE/foQG0bigvJE/s320/IMG_8875.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and gently rubbed the ink away from the stamped image </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the ink doesnt stick to the paint so its easily wiped away </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
revealing the image below</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qD9l8ptFucw/UOw0soGTgOI/AAAAAAAAFNM/jVwf1ZNbKRY/s1600/IMG_8876.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qD9l8ptFucw/UOw0soGTgOI/AAAAAAAAFNM/jVwf1ZNbKRY/s320/IMG_8876.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even after wiping the ink off you can go back many times and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
add more colour and keep wiping until you get the desired colour</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_LSi3rO9HBs/UOw0uXhRgVI/AAAAAAAAFNQ/flZ6u2IiIIE/s1600/IMG_8884.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_LSi3rO9HBs/UOw0uXhRgVI/AAAAAAAAFNQ/flZ6u2IiIIE/s320/IMG_8884.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I ran some of the green cardstock through the cuttlebug </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and embossed the Bingo image onto it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQcsInxziT0/UOw1EViNr9I/AAAAAAAAFN0/adgAiT6Kgt0/s1600/IMG_8887.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQcsInxziT0/UOw1EViNr9I/AAAAAAAAFN0/adgAiT6Kgt0/s320/IMG_8887.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using the paint dabber and gently brushing over </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the embossed image the paint attaches to the raised area </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After no internet for 10 weeks Ive come back to find blogger</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
doesnt seem to want to upload pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Having to upload in HMTL and flick back and forth between </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that and Compose it seems to have reached its limit at </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5 pictures for which I can only apologise.</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;">
The technique this month was to use a paint dabber </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and show some of the effects you can use it for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ive used 2 on this layout, stencilling using a mask </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and also dabbing chipboard shapes to cover them with the paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Starting with the Blue base 12 x 12 I used the
Snow Cap dabber and the clock stencil to stencil the image onto the bottom
corner of the paper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

coloured</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also cut two smaller pieces from the same card </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I threaded them all onto some of the twine </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fastening them down to ensure they all stayed facing forward</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and punched 2 holes in the bottom corners of the two</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
smaller pieces of card , passing the twin to the back of the page </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and securing it in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added the photo without further matting as it was an original</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I didnt want to alter it in anyway and the journaling </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the side of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly attached my title which was actually the date </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the<a href="http://welcometothescrapbookgarden.blogspot.co.uk/"> Scrapbook Garden</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began by taking the border off the Graphic 45 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Butterfly Specifies 12 x 12 paper.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I too one of the photos from my collection</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of my Auntie Bessie and my cousin Jane Wilson</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I trimmed the picture and sliced it into 3</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--pTUPdPnZlI/UCMI8zA36kI/AAAAAAAAFDM/Kxj7z57Ujr4/s1600/IMG_8429.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--pTUPdPnZlI/UCMI8zA36kI/AAAAAAAAFDM/Kxj7z57Ujr4/s320/IMG_8429.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I matted the picture on Bazzills Sugar Cream cardstock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and rounded the corners</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I took another piece of Sugar Cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and using some scrunched up Bubble wrap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some distress inks i added some colour to the paper </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to match the butterflies Id cut out of the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Butterfly Specifies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BA0Jkt4mYfk/UCMJn8vRxRI/AAAAAAAAFDk/WZWHBvI3Iy8/s1600/IMG_8432.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BA0Jkt4mYfk/UCMJn8vRxRI/AAAAAAAAFDk/WZWHBvI3Iy8/s320/IMG_8432.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept adding colours until I was happy with the result.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ntzBPVTuU3M/UCMJz_Pb7mI/AAAAAAAAFDs/Q-Ml_mez0v8/s1600/IMG_8433.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ntzBPVTuU3M/UCMJz_Pb7mI/AAAAAAAAFDs/Q-Ml_mez0v8/s320/IMG_8433.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut some corners from the border Id cut earlier </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and added them to the 12 x 12</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0JX3kjXMx_8/UCMJ-UwzTSI/AAAAAAAAFD0/bUgUnQmNLCA/s1600/IMG_8434.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0JX3kjXMx_8/UCMJ-UwzTSI/AAAAAAAAFD0/bUgUnQmNLCA/s320/IMG_8434.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then went on to add a Bazzill cardstock matt of Blue Lagoon </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
once again matching it to the butterfly colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using a Tim Holtz Alteration die I cut out the birdcage </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and cut away the centre bars of the cage.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stuck down the butterflies inside the cage</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After adding a couple trying to escape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a flurry of them soaring to the top corner of the page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first started Scrapbooking one of the things I did </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was to frame some layouts and use them as pictures .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since then, as my style has changed ive taken down the pictures </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and filled the frames with new layouts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That gave me the idea that it may be nice to make one for a gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As my best friend adores anything Moulin Rouge , it was with </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that in mind that I made this picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by using some Paris themed papers and added some stamped images</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and feathers along with a photograph taken of the outside</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the actual Moulin Rouge itself.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These rubber stamps have been so adaptable to so many </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
projects that ive done in the past.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week Ive been reading, Ive not read much in the way of books for years, but last week decided </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to buy myself a Kindle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it, dont know why I havent bought myself </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one long before now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saying that it may have something to do with the books</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ive been reading on it , that might be whats got my attention.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Grey triology..........the books that have everyone hooked,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and every woman I know whose read them just cant put them down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Freed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have to be the best books Ive read in a long time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Already Im worrying what Im going to read when i come to the end of the last book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I will re read them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Never have I read a whole book in less than 20 hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although I dont need a book mark for my Kindle </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ive made these for friends, and one to tuck inside the cover of </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my kindle just so I dont miss out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you all have a lovely weekend , inbetween working I will be reading..........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my 2nd layout from this months Design Kit for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://welcometothescrapbookgarden.blogspot.co.uk/">The Scrapbook Garden.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Im so used to doing vintage layouts I wanted to try something </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
using a current photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My daughter recently had some photos taken which I thought </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were fab and I decided to use one for this project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W_yQ7s-OxQc/T9pGaP936jI/AAAAAAAAE6I/V33SdsVTk0U/s1600/IMG_8209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-W_yQ7s-OxQc/T9pGaP936jI/AAAAAAAAE6I/V33SdsVTk0U/s320/IMG_8209.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with the <a href="http://www.thescrapbookgarden.co.uk/glitz-design-french-kiss-fleur-p-2355.html">Glitz Design 12 x 12 French Kiss</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut out the centre piece leaving what made a great frame </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on a piece of black cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black is a perfect colour for Hannah she loves all things</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
dark and gothic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hannah wants to be a Tattoo Artist and it was that which</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
inspired this layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7rbfWe1fDKE/T9pGjQMLVkI/AAAAAAAAE6Q/lXxJUR6UX2Y/s1600/IMG_8210.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7rbfWe1fDKE/T9pGjQMLVkI/AAAAAAAAE6Q/lXxJUR6UX2Y/s320/IMG_8210.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The detail on the border was beautiful</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F80dbhxO9UY/T9pHaujElHI/AAAAAAAAE6g/yBQnzNcmF8U/s1600/IMG_8229.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-F80dbhxO9UY/T9pHaujElHI/AAAAAAAAE6g/yBQnzNcmF8U/s320/IMG_8229.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used some <a href="http://www.thescrapbookgarden.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=personal+impressions+canvas+cl&x=0&y=0">Personal Impressions Canvas cloth</a> to stamp </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out some butterflies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BJnAGY13dk4/T9pHPWFMb-I/AAAAAAAAE6Y/eZhouYDDj8Y/s1600/IMG_8211.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BJnAGY13dk4/T9pHPWFMb-I/AAAAAAAAE6Y/eZhouYDDj8Y/s320/IMG_8211.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next I added a film strip die cut to the side of the layout</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as it was my intention to add photographs of Hannahs own tattoos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q-bkNEwXShE/T9pIyqs3etI/AAAAAAAAE6w/ri7kln84pc8/s1600/IMG_8230.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q-bkNEwXShE/T9pIyqs3etI/AAAAAAAAE6w/ri7kln84pc8/s320/IMG_8230.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added this years date into the gaps in the film strip</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></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 printed out a tattoo image onto the <a href="http://www.thescrapbookgarden.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=personal+impressions+canvas+cl&x=0&y=0">canvas cloth</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
