Around Easter, my students looked for other classes to participate in an cross-country egg-toss. The students were allowed to use a certain amount of a list of materials to pack an egg with the goal of it safely arriving at its destination via USPS. We had a lot of fun with this 'little' project tossing to schools in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and California with a 67% success rate (hey, "2 outta 3 ain't bad"). We twittered to find partner classes, blogged about our packages, and Skyped each other to watch the live opening ('catch') of the egg. I shared this information with a ed-tech group in May, and they want to partner with me to really pump up the project for next year including tracking devices on the eggs!! I was invited to a conference in Harrisburg to meet some students at a local university who will be working on this. My students are going to be so excited!
So instead of creating some new cards, I made reservations, checked out the program for the conference, and checked out what local stamping stores I can get to while I'm there! I've set a goal to post at least 30 entries on my blog for June, so I definitely didn't want to miss today. So here's my CC (color challenge) card from yesterday's challenge at SCS - a one-layer WHITE card. Even though it seemed a bit daunting, I actually like what I created. I'm really getting into the CAS cards.
I embossed a square in the center of the card with my nesties, stamped the posicle image, and then used chalks to shade in the square. I colored the popsicle with my Lipstick Red Copic marker and added the b&w polka dot ribbon. It just makes me think summer! And that I could go for a good Bomb Pop - yum!!

Great job on the challenge - I think you did a great one layer card.
What a really cool project to do with your students - congrats on how its grown for next year!
Great job with the card! It would have been intimidating to me as well! I love that image you used! And great idea to use the nesties for a frame!
Great card! It is always a challenge.
You're going to an egg conference, what fun! Or a traveling egg conference . . . does that mean you have to take a suitcase full of eggs? If you have a 66% success rate then only one third of your clothes will be yolky.:) That's really cool, reminds me a bit of the Flat Stanley project our kids did in fourth grade except he was not so fragile. Cute card too, great idea on the shading.
what a cool idea for the egg toss! You are going to be one of those teachers that definitely stick out in your students minds. Cute Popsicle card too!
What a neat idea you did for the egg toss. Sounds like some great opportunity.
Love the popsicle card.
Your class project sounds awesome! I will pass that info to my teacher daughter :)
Great popsicle card - it's adorable!
