Last year I wanted to make a star fold card for my DSIL to wish him a 'Happy Hanukkah' but 45 report cards kinda got in the way! So last night I went up to the craft room determined to figure it out.
I wanted the height of the equilateral triangle to be 6 inches and knew the angles had to be 60 degrees but where to go from there? DH to the rescue and had it all worked out to 3 decimal places. Three decimal places? And where was the protractor?
After wasting several sheets from my ugly paper stash, I did what I should have done to start with and looked it up on the Internet. Peggy, at Daily Grace Creations had a tutorial here and with a bit of tweaking, it worked! And here it is, sparkly DCWV paper and all!
Cool, huh? Now, the first day of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiving this year and I found this little image on the Silhouette on-line store. DSIL has a great sense of humor and will enjoy this sentiment - I hope!
Well, time to put the roast beef in the oven and bake a carrot cake - courtesy of Mr. Duncan Hines! Enjoy the weekend! Thanks for visiting with me today. : ) Christine
