<p style="text-align: center;">Let's create an elegant Easter card using the beautiful Ai Butterfly Clasp Die Set (5590). This clasp was designed to work with the Ai Journal Series. It is perfectly sized to provide the ideal closure for your Ai journals. However, we are going to use it in a fun and different way today!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">We will start with the card base using some white 100lb cardstock and for patterned paper we will be using some pretty lavender stripes for the card base, and we will be using the lavender florals for the gatefold portion of this card.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">I will give you all of the measurements for the layers and gatefold in today's video. Also, for the front flaps of the gatefold we will be using the Ai Journal Cover & Bookmark Dies (5723) to create the pretty scalloped edge.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Now for the inside of the gatefold we will use the Ai Nested Heart Dies (5721) and then we will add the "Easter Blessings" sentiment to a fun little banner using the Ai Journal Template Dies (5543). This set has several fun dies for all of your card making needs!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Finally, to complete the elegant look of this card let's add a few sparkly lavender gems!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">This card would be wonderful for a wedding, thank you and sympathy card as well!</p>

Today I have 2 cards to share. It has been cold, dark and dreary for a long time here in Ohio so when I made these cards my mind was moving towards the up coming spring season. I love spring colors as you will see in the cards I created for this weekend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For the first card I heat embossed the roses on the pink card base using a Versamark ink pad and clear embossing powder. For the background paper I created my own using the same rose and leaves stamp from 5831 WC Rose Set and a branch from 4964 WC Branches. The circle cutout was done with the chickadee from 5419 Bible Icons. All of these stamped pictures were painted using the following Tombow Markers #569, 969, N55, N25, 177, 977, 772 and 723. I added some berries to the branch that the chickadee is standing on from 5130 On the Sparrow. The dies used in the making of this card were the following: 5726 Nested Circle Dies, the lattice detail from 5805 Mini Journal Box and the scalloped edge from 5543 Journal Template Die set.

I love these gnomes from Bonnie. For the juggling gnome I used the gnome with his hands in the air from 5785 Gnomes. The bunny ears and eggs were hand drawn. For his darling house I used 5738 Easter Egg House. The house and gnome were painted using these Tombow markers, #569, 969, 879, 977, 452, 676, 025, N55 and 177. I used the small grass from 4051 Foliage and 5009 WC Mini Flowers for the details on the house and under the gnome. The patterned paper came from 5742 Easter patterned paper. The dies used were the following: 5724 Nested Rectangle Dies, the word "Spring" from 5719 Fence and Window Dies and the banner from 5809 Decorative Journal Page 2. Lastly I added some white details using Dr. PH Martin's bleed proof white.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2573" data-original-width="3024" height="413" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic9W2qOke9SO7x5HpK_vja93N_vyOCl1sR7bC4LJJA100_8Vm0dN1ai77jT9f4_Rn6MFO3TIq8aZh1mKZUo_dVi_VRECaQdoY-F7yDt74ox01EUChqCBhImmFYD3rPxE0fsrkxgV502nr0vrF94UstsU40uhnFGT1QNvxOkeGAEqi8-wURV-edUXUdA9w/w486-h413/Easter%20Gnome.jpg" width="486" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a class="linkdeli-image" href="https://linkdeli.com/view/0d0936c1-556b-4626-9fdd-8a1092e8aa3f" rel="nofollow" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank"><img src="https://linkdeli.s3.amazonaws.com/public/placeholders/0d0936c1-556b-4626-9fdd-8a1092e8aa3f.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I hope these cards make you smile and give you a little inspiration.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="256" data-original-width="485" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiyJbW0CO9Fp3oCLHSkMAJ4wswVFhDJbjva-Ooq9D6kXb90v_L6Eb1SVMDAtF6JrXeVm9YHaiMV90smiXHlkeIuHusep5Q3RVpJeVj1SPYc4kooRv_xtgxyKeMc2RjYUAp-DCDNZqGPmDlX6AXlabjqBOwauOaTkR3uEPkgRpGWQfxGCsndh2zQLKHxOo/s320/Ai_Jami.png" width="320" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275526588787957137.post-64967424282099983492024-02-23T02:00:00.000-08:002024-03-01T08:42:22.513-08:00Hello Friend Card by Tasha!<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Happy Friday Ai Friends!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(13, 13, 13); color: #0d0d0d; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tasha here, sharing a cheerful card featuring the playful 5000 - Gotta Garden Set.

<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Today we will be creating a "Double Flap Gatefold" card! When you open the card, one of the flaps will go to the left and the other goes to the right! It's a unique variation on a gatefold card that is lots of fun!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">For our focal image we will be using the Ai Practically Perfect Set (5280). These adorable ladies are really going all out for this birthday celebration with cake, gifts, party hats and lots of confetti! There are also three perfectly coordinated sentiments included in this set.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">We will first die cut the scallop ovals out of some lavender cardstock and the plain ovals from some white 100lb cardstock. These dies are from the Ai Journal Oval Frames (5588) Set.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Let's start by stamping these ladies onto the largest white oval and the sentiment onto the smaller white oval. Now we can do some coloring using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Peach Pink, Flesh Colour, Yellow, Pale Violet, Lilac, Pale Green, Lt Green, Lt Blue, Cobalt Blue, Haze Blue, Lt Gray, Beige, Gray.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Let's assemble the ovals and add a strip of green plaid paper underneath the sentiment for a bit more interest. We will also add some pretty lavender gems to this strip of paper for some sparkle!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Now we can create the gatefold card base using the lavender cardstock and we will add some patterned paper panels from the Mini Birthday Paper Pack (5873) to the inside of the card and onto the flaps on the front of the card. I will show you exactly how to create this gatefold and give you all of the measurements in today's video!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">We will also add a scallop border to the left and right side of the inside of the card using the Ai Journal Template Set (5543). This will coordinate nicely with the scallop ovals on the front of the card.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Finally, we can glue the ovals to the two front flaps of the card. We will glue half of the oval with the ladies to the left panel and half of the oval with the sentiment to the right panel. This cute sentiment will say "A year older and still RIDICULOUSLY FABULOUS"!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">This birthday card will bring a smile to anyone's face, and it is so easy to create!</p>

Not my mouth!! by Sharon Caudle<p style="text-align: center;"> Hello AI Fans!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Today I have a card that meets our new challenge going on "That's Ridiculous", so all you have to do is create a funny card or project. Now how easy is that when you use Art Impressions stamps??!! For my card, I used #5114 Never Too Old Set from Art Impressions Laugh Lines. I love this line of stamps! There are soooo many sentiments that go perfectly with her!! I stamped her with Memento ink and colored her with Copic markers which are listed below. I decided to turn her into a shaker card just for fun. I also used the brand new Mini Birthday Journal Paper Pack #5873.

<p class="MsoNormal">Kim Hein has recently launched a new watercolor stamp set
named My Favorite Birds Set (KH5820). This amazing set includes a pelican, two
sizes of owls, baby ducks, swans, a heron, and water foliage. Kim and her
daughter love birds, and so do I! As soon as I saw the facing swans stamp, I
just knew I had to make a card. For my second card, I modified the heron stamp
to resemble a Red-crowned Crane, also known as a Japanese Crane. Let's begin!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Swan Easel Card</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB93-MxKyLnhGca7PzU4Y2Icbxl29gdMbearKmD3gvAUiVnzZ_WsiG0KSo9eQ4z9NSZqsa3hwEmtoBgtuUXrWRlxi35-wY3i3tbzmadoor228O82b_QyLmZQcmFdoi8RZ_TdQjrGzvMjJvD9bQUoOzqdxA5wqj5xRYuXn-dqasK0aT0E6vWbFF7KLTosw8/s1800/DCM_WW_02_18_24_Photo_1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB93-MxKyLnhGca7PzU4Y2Icbxl29gdMbearKmD3gvAUiVnzZ_WsiG0KSo9eQ4z9NSZqsa3hwEmtoBgtuUXrWRlxi35-wY3i3tbzmadoor228O82b_QyLmZQcmFdoi8RZ_TdQjrGzvMjJvD9bQUoOzqdxA5wqj5xRYuXn-dqasK0aT0E6vWbFF7KLTosw8/w640-h640/DCM_WW_02_18_24_Photo_1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The beautiful new bird stamps are fairly quick and easy to
paint. I die-cut two pieces of Canson XL watercolor paper using the decorative
oval shapes from 5768 – Decorative Journal Page Set 1 and 5543 – Journal
Template Die Set. I created some colored cardstock mats for my die-cuts.
However, this step is optional. Next, I inked the swan stamp in N52 and stamped
it onto the die-cut. I shaded the swans using N52 and added a touch of 565. For
the beaks, I used 933. Then, I stamped the lily pads in front of and around the
swans in 177. To create the water and sky, I used 526. Lastly, for the water grasses,
I masked the swans and stamped the grasses in 177. Any missing details were added back
with a gray TwinTone marker. I used the smaller die-cut decorative oval to
stamp the sentiment from the Birthday Sentiment Set (5735).<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuP8WMjBR7-Cylrg1GjWAFyAA0cfnnIbTAFsTOAMolAmQHz-ozWgVvUEGWxdByLViY_BswOm-rTTHzgZaYTFuzMIUKb2soeaTJHPSVT_LyTsqNBMPP8ljgRPRUT-lLqC_Av-iv9SAZnu6AJpdsrba3Ak8KafPB_4J2nHaQyr-LyAl7StTvVzGZVd_IXN6I/s1800/DCM_WW_02_18_24_Photo_2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuP8WMjBR7-Cylrg1GjWAFyAA0cfnnIbTAFsTOAMolAmQHz-ozWgVvUEGWxdByLViY_BswOm-rTTHzgZaYTFuzMIUKb2soeaTJHPSVT_LyTsqNBMPP8ljgRPRUT-lLqC_Av-iv9SAZnu6AJpdsrba3Ak8KafPB_4J2nHaQyr-LyAl7StTvVzGZVd_IXN6I/w640-h640/DCM_WW_02_18_24_Photo_2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">To create the card base, I cut a piece of colored cardstock
to 8 ½
x 5 ½
inches, then scored and folded it at 2 ⅛ and 4 ¼ inches. Next, I selected a
patterned paper from the 5832 – Gnome Paper Pack and cut it to 4 x 5 ¼ inches.
If your chosen paper has a directional pattern, make sure to cut it
accordingly. I then cut the patterned paper in half to create two pieces
measuring 2 x 5 ¼ inches each. These pieces were glued to the front of the
card base, aligning them with the 2 ⅛ score line. I placed them next to
each other, matching the patterns as closely as possible. To create the
interior, I took a strip of patterned paper measuring 5 ¼ x ½ inches and
attached it to the bottom edge of a piece of white cardstock that was 4 x 5 ¼
inches. Next, I applied double-sided tape to only the bottom half of the swan
die-cut and attached it to the front of the card. This way, when the card is
folded into an easel shape, the top portion of the die cut is free to stand up.
Using foam squares, I popped up the sentiment die-cut on the interior. This
will help to keep the easel in place when displayed. I think this would make a
lovely birthday card, as well as an engagement, wedding, or anniversary card.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

(also known as the Japanese Crane) instead of the heron that Kim suggested. With
a slight bit of modification and using a reference photo, I think I was able to
achieve the desired result. I used a beautiful gold embossed origami paper with
cranes for the background and a hot foil plate with gold foil for the frame on
my watercolor paper. I stamped the crane with N52 and shaded it with layers of
N52. I used 856 for the red crown, N25 for the neck, legs, and dark feathers,
and added two small bumps on the legs for the knees. I sketched some hills and
a mountain inspired by Mount Fuji with a pencil and painted the water with 526.
I created a subtle misty backdrop for the hills and mount with a very watery
mix of 526 and a touch of N52. Once dry, I erased the pencil lines and brushed
in the sky with 526. I stamped the water grasses in 177 and added additional
water ripples with 526. I used a small amount of Dr. Ph. Martin’s Bleed Proof
White for highlights and added any missing details with a gray or black
TwinTone marker. I popped up the painting on the card front with foam squares
and used a sentiment from the 5797 – Little Things Sentiment Set for the
interior.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6xj3gim3uEzV1VasEdjgwk2Qhkfr4XE2bNKX5q3fqeRYop3O1Hiff0YGTyEpONes5NZy1bKQ62ciMzzssPWT-exsRQWTKI7vQzdtwK7KUlWRr5HlCe-wXJov0edmv8eBJ6x3AzOMPWokzWWfLlfjRwnMTKC0t9aYhZ37A_aanE78jdTJwRUMgtQqR7E9z/s1800/DCM_WW_02_18_24_Photo_4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6xj3gim3uEzV1VasEdjgwk2Qhkfr4XE2bNKX5q3fqeRYop3O1Hiff0YGTyEpONes5NZy1bKQ62ciMzzssPWT-exsRQWTKI7vQzdtwK7KUlWRr5HlCe-wXJov0edmv8eBJ6x3AzOMPWokzWWfLlfjRwnMTKC0t9aYhZ37A_aanE78jdTJwRUMgtQqR7E9z/w640-h640/DCM_WW_02_18_24_Photo_4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">Thank you, Kim, for sharing your love of birds with us and

It requires a stopper to keep the easel open. In this case, I used the cruise ticket. By default, when it's open you see the inside so decorations on the inside are seen when it's displayed. In this card, I used two layers of wave border inside. I highlighted the wave tips with white ink so they'd stand out and give more dimension. In the photo below, I took a top down view of the card so you could get a good view of the stopper. So much detail in this ticket!</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/AVvXsEgdxeqrBbQ6ASLY0cFOBbInThdZwaBLNUB72Z3wi1asL0ekTM-ai4NJsd0Gj1hPhqXu_aiVkDKRTrQQgpLZQWXMBxSp3dw1AmYPFvTUe7AxauZ-EyORLL4AWMLr9iwqW79zd7kru03k6S5VcQcW3HsTZu0w2Z3rWrzoIAYkSyECRVMoMJgvToauRbAd5l-5/s1080/Cruise%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdxeqrBbQ6ASLY0cFOBbInThdZwaBLNUB72Z3wi1asL0ekTM-ai4NJsd0Gj1hPhqXu_aiVkDKRTrQQgpLZQWXMBxSp3dw1AmYPFvTUe7AxauZ-EyORLL4AWMLr9iwqW79zd7kru03k6S5VcQcW3HsTZu0w2Z3rWrzoIAYkSyECRVMoMJgvToauRbAd5l-5/w640-h640/Cruise%202.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes creating a background is hard and when I feel stuck, I often turn to images I can find online. The cruise ship is a graphic I found on Cricut Design Space but truly you could pick from many ideas available on the internet. In the end, I chose this one because it still had a graphic look and the colors matched my theme. I printed the ship and then colored the water and sky around it. I also drew and colored a simple wooden dock at the bottom of the image so the lady had a place to stand. Once I finished, I mounted it on two layers of complementary card stock. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So let's take a closer look at the lady I used on this project. She was a blast to color and of course, I used some bright pinks and blues. I'm a color addict. The brighter the better it seems! I had a last minute inspiration to add a white pearl necklace and bracelet with white acrylic paint. I love how that looks! I also colored up the luggage, life ring, airplane and camera. I should also mention that I used the flag included in the <a href="https://www.artimpressions.com/shop/5718-mini-journal-template/">5718 - Mini Journal Template Set</a> to cut out the sentiment. I mounted it with a jewel brad and hung the camera off of it. The detail in the cruise ticket is really amazing. All in all, these are truly adorable images!</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/AVvXsEjNSx3MhNMd6ajCfV-PchrF_5qJmy4yNm5rZpxq7Bf6YeRQmsWtVQPSYTEWGBtcVXWq9jIEYcn6kCm2OETwSyWxBXedhFL5RlRkBpYD-m18kFeH_55MlErw8Ay0OXWwlw5ldsxnnx7N3_nQk-Eq68JnByjBS6bfjUaU1Bji9U-SN8tWIEpJRt1W_VcdAy7h/s1080/cruise%203.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNSx3MhNMd6ajCfV-PchrF_5qJmy4yNm5rZpxq7Bf6YeRQmsWtVQPSYTEWGBtcVXWq9jIEYcn6kCm2OETwSyWxBXedhFL5RlRkBpYD-m18kFeH_55MlErw8Ay0OXWwlw5ldsxnnx7N3_nQk-Eq68JnByjBS6bfjUaU1Bji9U-SN8tWIEpJRt1W_VcdAy7h/w640-h640/cruise%203.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div>Thanks for stopping by today.

This citation typically consists of the author’s name, year of publication, and page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence. Another option is to use the author’s name in the sentence, followed directly by the year in parentheses, with the page numbers in parentheses at the end of the sentence. <br /><b><br />Examples of Basic In-Text Citations: </b><br /><br />The article goes on to say that “People don't do derby just for exercise but usually because it becomes a part of who they are” (Fagundes, 2012, p. 1098). <br /><br />OR <br /><br />Fagundes (2012) added, “People don't do derby just for exercise but usually because it becomes a part of who they are” (p. 1098). <br /><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Long quotes (Block Quotations) <br /></b><br />Quotations longer than 40 words need to be set apart from the rest of the text. Do not use quotation marks. The quote should be in a new paragraph and set 1/2 inch from the left margin (the same position as a new paragraph). The parenthetical citation comes after the final punctuation mark. <br /><br /><b>Example of Block Quotation: <br /></b><br />He asserts the following: <br /><br />Derby names are, in this sense, like individual brand names that allow fans to tell skaters apart and more readily link their exploits on the track to an articulated identity. Obviously, standard government names can serve this function as well, but derby names are often particularly good source identifiers because they are tied to aesthetic features that fill out distinct personas. (Fagundes, 2012, p. 1105) <br /><br /><b>References Page <br /></b><br />• This is a separate page at the end of your paper. Each citation in the text must be listed on the References page; each listing on the References page must appear in the text. <br /><br />• The title of the page should be centered and labeled References. <br /><br />• All text is double-spaced, just like the rest of the paper. <br /><br />• Indent the second and subsequent lines of citations by 0.5 inch to create a hanging indent. <br /><br />Below are examples for Reference Pages. <br /><br /><b>Scholarly Journal Article from Online Source <br /></b><br />APA recommends providing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI)<a href="http://www.apastyle.org/learn/faqs/what-is-doi.aspx">,</a> when it is available, instead of the URL.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In MLA style, referring to the
works of others in your text is done by using what is known as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">parenthetical citation</b>. This method
involves placing relevant source information in parentheses after a quote or a
paraphrase. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">General Guidelines<span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .25pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 103%;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">•<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->The
source information required in a parenthetical citation depends (1.) upon the
source medium (e.g. Print, Web, DVD) and (2.) upon the source’s entry on the
Works Cited (bibliography) page.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l4 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 103%;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">•<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Any
source information that you provide in-text must correspond to the source
information on the Works Cited page. More specifically, whatever signal word or
phrase you provide to your readers in the text, must be the first thing that
appears on the left hand margin of the corresponding entry in the Works Cited
List. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In-text citations: Author-page style <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">MLA format follows the
author-page method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name
and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must
appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited
page. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in
parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s)
should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence. For
example: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wordsworth stated that Romantic poetry was marked by a
"spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (263).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Romantic poetry is characterized by the "spontaneous
overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wordsworth extensively explored
the role of emotion in the creative process (263). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Both citations in the examples
above, (263) and (Wordsworth 263), tell readers that the information in the
sentence can be located on page 263 of a work by an author named Wordsworth. If
readers want more information about this source, they can turn to the Works
Cited page, where, under the name of Wordsworth, they would find the following
information: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wordsworth, William. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lyrical Ballads</i>. London: Oxford UP,
1967. Print. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In-text citations for print sources with known
author <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For Print sources like books,
magazines, scholarly journal articles, and newspapers, provide a signal word or
phrase (usually the author’s last name) and a page number. If you provide the
signal word/phrase in the sentence, you do not need to include it in the
parenthetical citation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.6pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 16.85pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Human beings have been described by Kenneth Burke as
"symbol-using animals" (3). Human beings have been described as
"symbol-using animals" (Burke 3). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">These examples must correspond to
an entry that begins with Burke, which will be the first thing that appears on
the left-hand margin of an entry in the Works Cited: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 103%; margin-bottom: 13.45pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Burke, Kenneth. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Language as Symbolic Action: Essays on Life, Literature, and Method</i>.
Berkeley: U of California P, 1966. Print. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In-text citations for print sources by a
corporate author <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When a source has a corporate
author, it is acceptable to use the name of the corporation followed by the
page number for the in-text citation. You should also use abbreviations (e.g.,
nat'l for national) where appropriate, so as to avoid interrupting the flow of
reading with overly long parenthetical citations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In-text citations for print sources with no
known author <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When a source has no known
author, use a shortened title of the work instead of an author name. Place the
title in quotation marks if it's a short work (such as an article) or italicize
it if it's a longer work (e.g. plays, books, television shows, entire Web
sites) and provide a page number. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We see so many global warming
hotspots in North America likely because this region has "more readily
accessible climatic data and more comprehensive programs to monitor and study
environmental change . . ." ("Impact of Global Warming" 6). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In this example, since the reader
does not know the author of the article, an abbreviated title of the article
appears in the parenthetical citation which corresponds to the full name of the
article which appears first at the left-hand margin of its respective entry in
the Works Cited. Thus, the writer includes the title in quotation marks as the
signal phrase in the parenthetical citation in order to lead the reader
directly to the source on the Works Cited page. The Works Cited entry appears
as follows: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">"The Impact of Global
Warming in North America." <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Global
Warming: Early Signs</i>. 1999. Web. 23 Mar. 2009. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We'll learn how to make a Works
Cited page in a bit, but right now it's important to know that parenthetical
citations and Works Cited pages allow readers to know which sources you
consulted in writing your essay, so that they can either verify your
interpretation of the sources or use them in their own scholarly work. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Author-page citation for classic and literary
works with multiple editions <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Page numbers are always required,
but additional citation information can help literary scholars, who may have a
different edition of a classic work like Marx and Engels's <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Communist Manifesto</i>. In such cases, give the page number of
your edition (making sure the edition is listed in your Works Cited page, of
course) followed by a semicolon, and then the appropriate abbreviations for
volume (vol.), book (bk.), part (pt.), chapter (ch.), section (sec.), or
paragraph (par.). For example: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Marx and Engels described human
history as marked by class struggles (79; ch. 1). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Citing authors with same last names <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes more information is
necessary to identify the source from which a quotation is taken. For instance,
if two or more authors have the same last name, provide both authors' first
initials (or even the authors' full name if different authors share initials)
in your citation. For example: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Although some medical ethicists
claim that cloning will lead to designer children (R. Miller 12), others note
that the advantages for medical research outweigh this consideration (A. Miller
46). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Citing a work by multiple authors <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For a source with three or fewer
authors, list the authors' last names in the text or in the parenthetical
citation: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Smith, Yang, and Moore argue that
tougher gun control is not needed in the United States (76). The authors state
"Tighter gun control in the United States erodes Second Amendment
rights" (Smith, Yang, and Moore 76). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For a source with more than three
authors, use the work's bibliographic information as a guide for your citation.
Provide the first author's last name followed by et al. or list all the last
names. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Jones et al. counter Smith, Yang,
and Moore's argument by noting that the current spike in gun violence in
America compels law makers to adjust gun laws (4). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Or <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Legal experts counter Smith,
Yang, and Moore's argument by noting that the current spike in gun violence in
America compels law makers to adjust gun laws (Jones et al. 4). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Or <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Jones, Driscoll, Ackerson, and
Bell counter Smith, Yang, and Moore's argument by noting that the current spike
in gun violence in America compels law makers to adjust gun laws (4). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Citing multiple works by the same author <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you cite more than one work by a particular author,
include a shortened title for the particular work from which you are quoting to
distinguish it from the others. Put short titles of books in italics and short
titles of articles in quotation marks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 103%; margin-bottom: 13.45pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Citing
two articles by the same author</i>: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lightenor has argued that
computers are not useful tools for small children ("Too Soon" 38),
though he has acknowledged elsewhere that early exposure to computer games does
lead to better small motor skill development in a child's second and third year
("Hand-Eye Development" 17). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 103%; margin-bottom: 13.45pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Citing
two books by the same author</i>: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Murray states that writing is
"a process" that "varies with our thinking style" (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Write to Learn</i> 6). Additionally, Murray
argues that the purpose of writing is to "carry ideas and information from
the mind of one person into the mind of another" (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Writer Teaches Writing</i> 3). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Additionally, if the author's
name is not mentioned in the sentence, you would format your citation with the
author's name followed by a comma, followed by a shortened title of the work,
followed, when appropriate, by page numbers: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Visual studies, because it is
such a new discipline, may be "too easy" (Elkins, "Visual
Studies" 63). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Citing multivolume works <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you cite from different
volumes of a multivolume work, always include the volume number followed by a
colon. Put a space after the colon, then provide the page number(s). (If you
only cite from one volume, provide only the page number in parentheses.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">. . . as Quintilian wrote in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Institutio Oratoria</i> (1: 14-17). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Citing the Bible <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In your first parenthetical
citation, you want to make clear which Bible you're using (and underline or
italicize the title), as each version varies in its translation, followed by
book (do not italicize or underline), chapter and verse. For example: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.7pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ezekiel saw "what seemed to be four living
creatures," each with faces of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New Jerusalem Bible</i>, Ezek. 1.5-10). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If future references employ the
same edition of the Bible you’re using, list only the book, chapter, and verse
in the parenthetical citation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Citing indirect sources <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes you may have to use an
indirect source. An indirect source is a source cited in another source. For
such indirect quotations, use "qtd. in" to indicate the source you
actually consulted. For example: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ravitch argues that high schools
are pressured to act as "social service centers, and they don't do that
well" (qtd. in Weisman 259). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Note that, in most cases, a
responsible researcher will attempt to find the original source, rather than
citing an indirect source. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Citing non-print or sources from the Internet <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">With more and more scholarly work
being posted on the Internet, you may have to cite research you have completed
in virtual environments. While many sources on the Internet should not be used
for scholarly work, some Web sources are perfectly acceptable for research.
When creating in-text citations for electronic, film, or Internet sources,
remember that your citation must reference the source in your Works Cited. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes writers are confused
with how to craft parenthetical citations for electronic sources because of the
absence of page numbers, but often, these sorts of entries do not require any
sort of parenthetical citation at all. For electronic and Internet sources,
follow the following guidelines: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 103%;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">•<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Include

the reader to the appropriate entry on the Works Cited page (see below). In the

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To cite multiple sources in the
same parenthetical reference, separate the citations by a semicolon: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">. . . as has been discussed
elsewhere (Burke 3; Dewey 21). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Common sense and ethics should
determine your need for documenting sources. You do not need to give sources
for familiar proverbs, well-known quotations or common knowledge. Remember,
this is a rhetorical choice, based on audience. If you're writing for an expert
audience of a scholarly journal, for example, they'll have different
expectations of what constitutes common knowledge. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 107%; margin-bottom: 18.6pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-indent: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">MLA Formatting Quotations</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When you directly quote the works
of others in your paper, you will format quotations differently depending on
their length. Below are some basic guidelines for incorporating quotations into
your paper. Please note that all pages in MLA should be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">double-spaced</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Short quotations <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To indicate short quotations
(fewer than four typed lines of prose or three lines of verse) in your text,
enclose the quotation within double quotation marks. Provide the author and
specific page citation (in the case of verse, provide line numbers) in the
text, and include a complete reference on the Works Cited page. Punctuation
marks such as periods, commas, and semicolons should appear after the
parenthetical citation. Question marks and exclamation points should appear
within the quotation marks if they are a part of the quoted passage but after
the parenthetical citation if they are a part of your text. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For example, when quoting short
passages of prose, use the following examples: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">According to some, dreams express "profound aspects of
personality" (Foulkes 184), though others disagree. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.6pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 17.25pt; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">According to Foulkes's study, dreams may express
"profound aspects of personality" (184). Is it possible that dreams
may express "profound aspects of personality" (Foulkes 184)? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When short (fewer than three
lines of verse) quotations from poetry, mark breaks in short quotations of
verse with a slash, ( / ), at the end of each line of verse (a space should
precede and follow the slash). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cullen concludes, "Of all
the things that happened there / That's all I remember" (11-12). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Long quotations <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For quotations that are more than
four lines of prose or three lines of verse, place quotations in a
free-standing block of text and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a
new line, with the entire quote indented <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">one
inch</b> from the left margin; maintain double-spacing. Only indent the first
line of the quotation by an additional quarter inch if you are citing multiple
paragraphs. Your parenthetical citation should come <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">after</b> the closing punctuation mark. When quoting verse, maintain
original line breaks. (You should maintain double-spacing throughout your
essay.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For example, when citing more
than four lines of prose, use the following examples: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .6pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Nelly Dean treats Heathcliff poorly and dehumanizes him

or else attracted by hearing his voice, it crept to Mr. Earnshaw's door, and
there he found it on quitting his chamber. Inquiries were made as to how it got
there; I was obliged to confess, and in recompense for my cowardice and
inhumanity was sent out of the house. (Bronte 78) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When citing long sections (more
than three lines) of poetry, keep formatting as close to the original as
possible. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When citing two or more
paragraphs, use block quotation format, even if the passage from the paragraphs
is less than four lines. Indent the first line of each quoted paragraph an
extra quarter inch. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>From its birth in the late nineteenth century, progressive education has
wrestled with the conflict within industrial society between pressure to
increase specialization of knowledge and of professional work (upholding

(promoting social equity). . . . (3) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Adding or omitting words in quotations <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you add a word or words in a
quotation, you should put brackets around the words to indicate that they are
not part of the original text. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Jan Harold Brunvand, in an essay
on urban legends, states, "some individuals [who retell urban legends]
make a point of learning every rumor or tale" (78). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you omit a word or words from
a quotation, you should indicate the deleted word or words by using ellipsis
marks, which are three periods ( . . . ) preceded and followed by a space. For
example: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In an essay on urban legends, Jan
Harold Brunvand notes that "some individuals make a point of learning
every recent rumor or tale . . . and in a short time a lively exchange of
details occurs" (78). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Please note that brackets are not
needed around ellipses unless adding brackets would clarify your use of
ellipses. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When omitting words from poetry
quotations, use a standard three-period ellipses; however, when omitting one or
more full lines of poetry, space several periods to about the length of a
complete line in the poem: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When citing an introduction, a
preface, a foreword, or an afterword, write the name of the author(s) of the
piece you are citing. Then give the name of the part being cited, which should
not be italicized or enclosed in quotation marks; in italics, provide the name
of the work and the name of the author of the
introduction/preface/forward/afterward. Finish the citation with the details of
publication, page range, and item type (e.g., print, web, etc.). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">If the writer of the piece is different from the author of the complete
work</i>, then write the full name of the principal work's author after the
word "By." For example, if you were to cite Hugh Dalziel Duncan’s
introduction of Kenneth Burke’s book Permanence and Change, you would write the
entry as follows: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The Bible<span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Give the name of the specific
edition you are using, any editor(s) associated with it, followed by the
publication information. Remember that your in-text (parenthetical citation)
should include the name of the specific edition of the Bible, followed by an
abbreviation of the book, the chapter and verse(s).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cite the author of the
publication if the author is identified. Otherwise, start with the name of the
national government, followed by the agency (including any subdivisions or
agencies) that serves as the organizational author. For congressional
documents, be sure to include the number of the Congress and the session when
the hearing was held or resolution passed. US government documents are
typically published by the Government Printing Office, which MLA abbreviates as
GPO. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cite the title and publication
information for the pamphlet just as you would a book without an author.
Pamphlets and promotional materials commonly feature corporate authors
(commissions, committees, or other groups that does not provide individual
group member names). If the pamphlet you are citing has no author, cite as
directed below. If your pamphlet has an author or a corporate author, put the
name of the author (last name, first name format) or corporate author in the
place where the author name typically appears at the beginning of the entry.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 15.15pt; margin-left: -.25pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Periodicals (e.g. magazines, newspapers, and scholarly
journals) that appear in print require the same medium of publication
designator—Print—as books, but the MLA Style method for citing these materials
and the items required for these entries are quite different from MLA book
citations. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For more information on citing

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cite by listing the article's
author, putting the title of the article in quotations marks, and italicizing
the periodical title. Follow with the date of publication. Remember to
abbreviate the month. The basic format is as follows: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Cite a newspaper article as you
would a magazine article, but note the different pagination in a newspaper. If
there is more than one edition available for that date (as in an early and late

<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">An Article in a Scholarly Journal <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In previous years, MLA required
that researchers determine whether or not a scholarly journal employed
continuous pagination (page numbers began at page one in the first issue of the
years and page numbers took up where they left off in subsequent ones) or
non-continuous pagination (page numbers begin at page one in every subsequent
issue) in order to determine whether or not to include issue numbers in
bibliographic entries. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The MLA Handbook
for Writers of Research Papers</i> 7th edition (2009) eliminates this step.
Always provide issue numbers, when available. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

special issue of a journal, cite the name of the special issue in the entry’s
title space, in italics, and end with a period. Add the descriptor “Spec. issue
of” and include the name of the journal, also in italics, followed by the rest
of the information required for a standard scholarly journal citation.</span></p>

<h1 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">MLA Works Cited: Electronic Sources (Web
Publications) <o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">MLA lists electronic sources as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Web Publications</i>. Thus, when including
the medium of publication for electronic sources, list the medium as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Web</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It is always a good idea to
maintain personal copies of electronic information, when possible. It is good
practice to print or save Web pages or, better, using a program like Adobe
Acrobat, to keep your own copies for future reference. Most Web browsers will
include URL/electronic address information when you print, which makes later
reference easy. Also, you might use the Bookmark function in your Web browser
in order to return to documents more easily. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Important Note on the Use of URLs in MLA <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">MLA no longer requires the use of
URLs in MLA citations. Because Web addresses are not static (i.e., they change
often) and because documents sometimes appear in multiple places on the Web
(e.g., on multiple databases), MLA explains that most readers can find
electronic sources via title or author searches in Internet Search Engines. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For instructors or editors who still wish to require the use of URLs</i>,
MLA suggests that the URL appear in angle brackets after the date of access.
Break URLs only after slashes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Abbreviations Commonly Used with Electronic
Sources <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If publishing information is
unavailable for entries that require publication information such as publisher
(or sponsor) names and publishing dates, MLA requires the use of special
abbreviations to indicate that this information is not available. Use <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">n.p.</i> to indicate that neither a
publisher nor a sponsor name has been provided. Use <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">n.d.</i> when the Web page does not provide a publication date. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When an entry requires that you
provide a page but no pages are provided in the source (as in the case of an
online-only scholarly journal or a work that appears in an online-only anthology),
use the abbreviation <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">n. pag</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h2 style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Basic Style for Citations of Electronic Sources
(Including Online Databases) <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: -.25pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are some common features you
should try and find before citing electronic sources in MLA style. Not every
Web page will provide all of the following information. However, collect as
much of the following information as possible both for your citations and for
your research notes: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

takes up the whole screen. These are often used to show a character is
important to the story, but can also be used on objects to show imminent
action (like a hand picking up a knife).<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>

occurs when the camera is moved on wheels, allowing us to travel with the
scene's subject. These can be fast or slow, but usually the movement is fluid.
If excessively slow, it could be a dream or a trance; if excessively fast,
it could be a moment of panic or fear. A tracking shot can go forwards,
backwards, left-right, or right-left.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>

A symbolic visual, auditory, or narrative element with a predictable meaning. <br /><br />Motif; Anything repeated more than a few times in a film. A motif can be visual (an image or cinematic technique), sonic (a sound or piece of music), or rhetorical (a word, phrase, metaphor, etc.). <br /><br /><b>Categories of Analysis </b><br /><br />Cinematography; A term used to define the ways in which the camera captures the shot. Under the heading of cinematography, we speak of such things as the different lenses used by the camera, how the camera frames the shot, the angle of the camera relative to the action, and how the camera moves. <br /><br />Editing; Refers to how the individual shots are spliced together. The norm here is “continuity editing,” in which shots are put together to achieve narrative continuity—to make the action appear to flow logically and naturally from shot to shot.<br /><br />Mise-en-scène; Literally meaning “put into the scene,” this term refers to the arrangement of actors and objects in front of the camera. Setting, lighting, costuming, and acting are aspects of mise-en-scène. <br /> <br />Sound; Refers to both the sounds that come from the scene itself, such as spoken dialogue or ambient noise, and the sounds that are imposed on the scene, such as voice-overs or musical scores. <br /><br /><b>Cinematography </b><br /><br /><b>Camera Distance </b><br /><br />Extreme Long Shot; A shot of a character’s full figure at a great distance, including a panoramic view of the surroundings. <br /><br />Long Shot; A shot that includes a character’s full figure as well as the surroundings. <br /><br />Medium Shot; A shot that captures a figure from the waist up. <br /><br />Close-Up; The frame is filled primarily by the subject’s face, including little to no background. <br /><br />Extreme Close-Up; A shot filled entirely by a small part of the subject’s body. <br /><br /><b>Camera Angle </b><br /><br />High Angle; The camera looks down at the subject. <br /><br />Low Angle; The camera looks up at the subject. <br /><br />Canted Angle; A shot in which the framing is tipped, or no longer horizontal. <br /><br /><b>Mobile Framing </b><br /><br />Pan; The camera scans horizontally from a fixed axis. <br /><br />Tilt; The camera scans vertically from a fixed axis. <br /><br />Track; The camera follows the action, travelling along a parallel path to capture the movement.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><b>Lenses and Focus </b><br /><br /><b>Long Lens </b><br /><br />Also called a “telephoto lens,” this long focal length lens is used to capture subjects at a distance. It foreshortens the distance between background and foreground. <br /><br /><b>Wide Lens <br /></b><br />A short focal length lens that emphasizes the distance between foreground and background. <br /><br /><b>Deep Focus </b><br /><br />Objects in the background and foreground are equally in focus. <br /> <b><br />Shallow Focus </b><br /><br />Only objects in one plane are in focus, while others are out of focus. <br /><br /><b>Rack Focus </b><br /><br />A shift from one plane of focus to another within a shot. <br /><b><br />Zoom Process Shots </b><br /><br />Changes focal length to create motion towards or away from the subject. <br /><br /><b>Superimposition </b><br /><br />Images are overlaid within the frame. <br /><br /><b>Digital Animation </b><br /><br />Images created or modified by computer software. <br /><br /><b>Title Cards </b><br /><br />Text from outside the world of the narrative appearing on screen to supply information to the audience. <br /><br /><b>Editing </b><br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Basic Terms </b><br /><br />Continuity Editing; The process of putting shots together to create the impression of continuous narrative time and/or visually coherent space. <br /><br />Cut; An immediate transition from one shot to the next, with no dissolve, fade, or wipe. Straight cuts usually imply continuous action between one shot and the next. <br /> <br />Dissolve; A shot slowly disappears at the same time the next appears, featuring a time during which one shot is briefly superimposed on another. Dissolves often imply some distance in time or space between one shot and the next. <br /><br />Fade; A shot slowly becomes darker until the entire screen is black (“fade out” or “fade to black”). This can be done in reverse: the shot slowly gets brighter until the entire screen is white. A fade out is often paired with a “fade in” in which the next shot slowly emerges from the black or white screen. Fades often imply a greater distance in time and/or place between one sequence and the next. <br /> <br />Wipe; One shot “wipes” another from the screen, usually from one side of the screen to the other, bottom to top, or top to bottom. Expanding or contracting shapes (such as stars, circles, or hearts) can also be used to wipe one shot from the screen and reveal the next. <br /> <br /><b>Graphic and Temporal Relations </b><br /><br />180 Degree Rule; A principle of continuity editing dictating that the camera remains on one side of the action to maintain the viewer’s perspective and understanding of the left-right spatial relationship between characters. <br /><br />Shot/ Reverse Shot; Alternating shots between subjects, usually in conversation, viewed from different camera positions. <br /><br />Crosscutting; Transitioning back and forth between two or more action sequences taking place simultaneously. <br /><br />Eyeline Match; A cut between a shot of a person looking towards an object and a shot of the object being viewed. <br /><br /><b>Match on Action </b><br /><br />A cut that transitions between two different views of the same action so that the action appears continuous from one shot to the next. <br /> <br /><b>Graphic match </b><br /><br />A cut that relates consecutive shots through repeated compositional features (shapes, colors, patterns, etc.). <br /><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Jump Cut </b><br /><br />A cut that distorts continuity, causing a skip ahead in time or space. <br /><br /><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Mise-en-scène <br /></b><br /><b>Basic Terms </b><br /><br /><b>Composition </b><br /><br />The arrangement of subjects, props, and environments within a shot. <br /> <br /><b>Costumes <br /></b><br />Clothing designed to express character, social setting, and/or mythos. <br /><br /><b>Decor </b><br /><b><br />Lighting </b><br /><br />The set design, whether in studio or on location. Includes colors, styles, textures, architecture, props and the sociocultural locations or psychological states they are intended to evoke. <br /><br />Three Point Lighting; Standard lighting using three light sources: a key light to provide the main source of illumination along with a fill light from another side and back light from behind. <br /><br />High Key; Nearly all parts of the image are brightly illuminated. <br /><br />Low Key; Extreme contrast between light and dark within an image. <br /><br />Chiaroscuro; The use of strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of visual drama or a sense of volume and dimension to the space and the figures within it. <br /><br /><b>Sound <br /><br />Basic Terms </b><br /><br />Diegetic Sound; Sound produced in the world of the film, taking place within the narrative (dialogue, sound effects, etc.). <br /><br />Extra diegetic Sound; Sound originating from outside the narrative, not produced in the onscreen setting (voice-overs, soundtrack, etc.). <br /><b><br />Sound Transition </b><br /><br />Sound Bridge; A transition assisted by a continuous sound from one scene to the next, often to introduce a new scene before it appears visually. <br /><br />Edit on Sound; A cut made on a sound cue.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Example: "Emma" by Jane Austen, which portrays the lives of ordinary people in 19th-century England.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Magical Realism:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Magical realism is like sprinkling a little bit of fairy dust into the real world; it mixes ordinary life with magical or fantastical elements in a way that feels totally natural. Example: "Like Water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquivel, where magical events occur in a realistic Mexican setting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Dystopian:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dystopian literature shows us what could happen if things go really wrong in the future; it's like a warning about oppressive societies (allowing no freedom, controlling by force) where people don't have much freedom. Example: "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, where a government controls its citizens through a brutal annual competition.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Fantasy:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fantasy is like stepping into a dream world full of magic, mythical creatures, and epic adventures, it takes us to far away lands where anything is possible. Example: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" by J.K. Rowling, which introduces us to a magical school called Hogwarts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Science Fiction:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Science fiction is like taking a journey into the future or to distant planets; it explores advanced technology, space exploration, and scientific ideas that haven't happened yet. Example: "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells, where aliens invade (attack and take control) Earth in futuristic machines.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Speculative Fiction:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Speculative fiction is like asking "what if?" about the world around us, it imagines different versions of reality, sometimes blending elements of science fiction, fantasy, and dystopia. Example: "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, which speculates about a future where women's rights are severely (brutal, hard, harsh) restricted.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Bildungsroman:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bildungsroman is like following someone's journey from childhood to adulthood; it's all about personal growth, self-discovery, and the challenges of growing up. Example: "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger, where we see the protagonist, Holden, navigating and trying to find his place in the world.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Western:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Westerns are like riding off into the sunset on horseback, they're set in the American Wild West and often feature cowboys, outlaws (make something illegal), and rugged (rough) landscapes. Example: "True Grit" by Charles Portis, a story of revenge and justice in the Old West.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Romance:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Romance is like a warm hug or a fluttering heart, it's all about love, passion, and emotional connections between characters. Example: "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, a classic tale of love overcoming social barriers in 19th-century England.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Historical:</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Historical fiction is like a time machine that takes us back to the past, it's set in historical periods and often explores real events, people, and places. Example: "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak, which is set in Nazi Germany during World War II.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li><span style="font-family: arial;

<p style="text-align: center;">Today we will be using a brand-new stamp set from Art Impressions! This is called My Favorite Bird Set (5820) and includes the two beautiful swans that we will be using on our card. It also includes a lovely pelican, heron, two different sizes of owls, some tiny ducks, a few cattails and tiny rocks!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Let's start by stamping the swans using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Tea Rose, Bright Yellow, Scarlet Red, Lt Gray. Now we can cut these out leaving a little white border all the way around.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">We will cut two large, stitched panels using the Ai Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies (5063). Now let's grab the beautiful Lawn Fawn Secret Garden Window Die Set and die cut the window from the first panel and die cut the arch from some Gina K Masking Magic.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">We can mask off the secret window and stamp over top using the Hero Arts Bold Prints Cling Stamp - Bursting w/ Love and emboss this using some beautiful white satin pearl powder. </p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Next, let's add some inking using the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg. Be sure to wipe off any excess with a clean, dry towel and remove the mask. We can stamp the second large panel as well and also spatter this inside panel.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Let's add some water for the swans and ink this panel using the Speckled Egg and Peacock Feathers ink!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">We can assemble the two panels with the water and swans using some 3D Foam Tape for added dimension.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Going back to the same Secret Garden Die Set we can die cut several flowers from the white cardstock and add these to the frame. For the centers of the flowers, we can add some pretty turquoise sequins!</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->
<!--wp:paragraph-->
<p style="text-align: center;">Next, let's add the sentiment that says "Better Together" from the Ai Friend Sentiments Set (5734) and emboss it using some detail white embossing powder. Let's also pop this up with some foam squares and add another flower and leaves to this banner. This little banner is from the Ai Decorative Journal Page 2 (5809) die set.</p>
<!--/wp:paragraph-->

<p style="text-align: center;">This elegant card would be wonderful for an anniversary, wedding or Valentine's Day!!!</p>

First we have our February month long challenge featuring guest Designer Diane Zechman! For that challenge, you just have to make a project with any animal. Along with that, we also have our Bi-weekly challenge You Spin Me Round challenge where you need to feature anything circular on your card. I went with a round card. If you enter either challenge, you have a chance to win a free stamp set of your choice. How awesome is that??!! For my card, I used #5726 Nested Circle Dies and layered it onto a scalloped circle die I have in my stash. I also used #5274 Easter Bunnies Set. Those cute bunnies are stamped with Memento ink and colored with Copic markers. </p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqsfrjlngD11xboVh0skhGBOMratWoYWksePhlA5sh6q1gUZhnCThLkSbJkpL_KWkSfnz7iw2nfoUJx-CobtcwK0kkhIkcH23lBkW4zNhU1jouRwUzHpvZ9iy5fxlFGfxIy3ydZILGqF3MRLmXuwJyd5CCjbriZNV2tbLGu4HplBzSBfjWN6HfAEcTYgY/s2571/ai%202024%20Feb%2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2571" data-original-width="2571" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqsfrjlngD11xboVh0skhGBOMratWoYWksePhlA5sh6q1gUZhnCThLkSbJkpL_KWkSfnz7iw2nfoUJx-CobtcwK0kkhIkcH23lBkW4zNhU1jouRwUzHpvZ9iy5fxlFGfxIy3ydZILGqF3MRLmXuwJyd5CCjbriZNV2tbLGu4HplBzSBfjWN6HfAEcTYgY/w640-h640/ai%202024%20Feb%2012.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwnsPUcRv1ecgIjQeP_BM1OsuW83x3Geq3slTK56G8hVBts0Y4UrhbUQEUJvMwxqwpUoVATZNwsk9agfY9KyxFwKP0qnqnCCTUtcWj7SKHsEZkW1jc09Hq_2HcTaIel3pktMOzRPYcN1WkmhnV8NQb_l9jf2Js4K0vWKbecQ7-uJLHfs2yDY7BNw51vY/s3888/ai%202024%20feb%2012%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="3888" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBwnsPUcRv1ecgIjQeP_BM1OsuW83x3Geq3slTK56G8hVBts0Y4UrhbUQEUJvMwxqwpUoVATZNwsk9agfY9KyxFwKP0qnqnCCTUtcWj7SKHsEZkW1jc09Hq_2HcTaIel3pktMOzRPYcN1WkmhnV8NQb_l9jf2Js4K0vWKbecQ7-uJLHfs2yDY7BNw51vY/w640-h426/ai%202024%20feb%2012%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's it for me today!
