Polymerase Chain Reaction
Okay, this card is an uber nerdy card.
 |
| Front of the card It looks like the screen of a Veriti, a PCR machine manufactured by ABI. The screen usually shows the temperatures and times of each PCR cycle. This "screen" shows an average work day. |
 |
| The inside of the card. A 96-well plate (or a 384-well plate) gets placed inside of a Veriti, so I created a 96-well plate with the word "HI" filled in. |
 |
| It's a pop-up card! |
 |
| Credit: Here Here is what the actual machine looks like. It's a very good machine in case you were thinking of purchasing one :) |

Lily
Here is what the inside of the card from yesterday looks like! I have a friend who likes lilies so I made her a birthday card with a pop up lily! Where, you ask, did I learn such skills? Oh, a YouTube video.
The pink paper is really pretty and I really love the light blue textured paper in the background.

Friday's Thank You Notes #13 (9/02/11)
Okie dokie, it's back!
l make a list of serious and silly thank you's (a la Late Night) and post a picture of a handmade thank you card every Friday. Have a happy Friday and a fantastic weekend.
-Have a nice day!
You too!
conversations for making me incorrectly "you too" someone.
Examples:
*Hotel receptionist: Enjoy your stay at our hotel!
Me: You too!
*Movie theater ticket collector: Enjoy the movie!
Me: You too!
*Wait staff: Enjoy your meal!
Me: You too!
-those times when you see someone you know, say, "How are you?" at the exact same time , and awkwardly try to figure out who responds first.
-those times when you wake up before the alarm clock. Who just beat the system? Yeah, that's right.
-those times when I can actually calculate something in my head, for assuring me that I don't always have to rely on calculators. Just occasionally.
-times when you really have to walk across a hallway to get somewhere, but two people are standing against both walls having a serious conversation.
-people who break the spine of paperback books. Whyyyyyy? That's like letting me borrow a DVD and telling me it's ok to have a cat scratch it.
-for reading this! Have a nice weekend!

Belated Birthdays-Part One
So you forgot someone's birthday. You should still send a card because it's better late than never. In fact, you can think of it as a super early birthday card!
1). A car(d)
looks like a normal car made out of scraps of paper...open it up....
"Happy Belated Birthday" is written on a delicate green piece of paper.
2). Kickin' Birthday
1). A car(d)
2). Kickin' Birthday
The kickboxer and circles are made out of decorative masking tape.
3). Snail Birthday

Today I went to Brooklyn for the second time ever (the first time was when I missed my subway stop and ended up going over the bridge by mistake...). Etsy Labs actually holds free craft nights every Monday 4-8pm. Today's was a paper craft night with Esther K. Smith. She taught us how to make basic pop-up cards. Here is the card I made tonight! Not too bad, right?

I used to have an Etsy shop (www.etsy.com), but I got too lazy to keep it up. Maybe I'll start it up again?

Eve!
I'm listening to Christmas music on Pandora now with a cup of hot chocolate. If I could sing, I would totally want to join an a cappella group just to sing Carol of the Bells, my favorite Christmas song.
I can't believe 2010 is almost over! It's been a great year and I hope 2011 will be equally good, if not better!! Happy holidays to you!
Here are some cards I have made to get into the Christmas spirit!
