Yesterday I posted a card that was suppose to have two
circles joining it together as a gate-fold card which wasn’t all that successful.
I redrew my design and tried again. This one is more like what I had in mind.
Here’s the inside of the card before I changed it too. This view shows you how the front of the card fits together but I
didn’t like the look of the circles on the edges of the card. The yellow patterned paper is the same as the middle paper on the circles on the front. This was die cut with a Spellbinder's fancy square die and another Spellbinder's label was used for the sentiment.
So, I had to remedy that. Here's the inside of the finished card.
I die cut two more scalloped
circles from the same patterned paper, embossed the centres with a Cuttlebug mini embossing folder (that I
should use more often) and glued them over the top matching up the scalloped
edges. Now I like it. Sometimes its the little things that make such a difference.
Well, in spite of the fact that over 30 people checked my
blog yesterday, no one guessed why manhole covers are always round. So, I guess
I’ll have to tell you. Manhole covers are round because a circle is the only
geometric shape that cannot fall into itself! Think about it. If a manhole
cover was square or rectangle or any other shape, someone could pry it up and
drop it down into the sewer leaving a gaping hole someone could fall into. But
it is impossible for a circle to fall into itself. I always wonder about stuff
like this and maybe Joe is right when I ask him something and he looks at me
and says, “You are the only person who would wonder about that!” He could be
right I guess.
