Em and I made these fun, and super easy to make confetti-inspired cards.
I carved out (with an exacto knife) tiny geometric shapes from a stamp carving block...but these work really great too.
For Em's "kid-friendly" stamps I cut out tiny shapes from a styrofoam take out container and used two-sided tape to adhere the shape onto a wooden peg.

MOOD SWING NAIL POLISH REVIEW...DISAPPOINTED
I had high hopes for Claire's Mood Swing Nail Polish ($5). Which from the bottle looks as though it would change from a deep purple to turquoise.
First of all, I don't even have a picture of it on because 70% of it chipped off after the first few hours, so I took it off. Second, the color did not change, or if it did it wasn't enough jo_anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04337969789059296854noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169571246506568514.post-2225280627929020752011-06-05T11:22:00.000-07:002011-06-07T10:03:01.679-07:0030 Day Photography Challenge: DAY 4 & DAY 5

I am completely ADDICTED to the television show Oddites on the Science Channel. It fosters my appreciation for the strange and unusual. Strange things, strange people, strange phenomenon. Love it all.
Would I want these things in my house? No Way-- freaks me out, but it's intriguing to look at none the less.
