Rectangles and squares are not the same shape.

Okay, I did actually know that, and I'm sure you do too. So why was it that when I was making this card, I figured I could just cut a piece of patterned paper the size of the card, cut it on the diagonal, and then flip the one piece so both sides of the patterned paper would show on the front of the card? As you probably know, that would work fine with a square, not a rectangle. Best you can do with a rectangle is make a kite shape. And, that doesn't fit on the front of a standard card. Well, not in the way I wanted it to anyway.

I did get it figured out in the end though.



I made this card for my mother to give to my father for Father's Day.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
