TLP is known for its family atmosphere and love for each other. I think we would all agree when we think of TLP and love, Cynthia, aka MrsPeel, is the name that comes to the top. We have all received her love on our pages and in our posts.

Last week Cynthia fell and is hurting a lot. Her arm is in a sling. She has had a rough year to say the least. Being able to scrap is Cynthia’s trick for dealing with the pain and now she can’t do that. I think an infusion of TLP love is needed. Laura and I have been discussing this and after seeing her ATC video, we thought ATC size cards were the answer.

Would you make Cynthia an ATC card, or even a message on a 2.5’”x 3.5” (6.3 x 8.8 cm) card (or jpg) to encourage her. That converts to 750 X 1050 pixels. Post it in this thread so she gets some love now and send me, Carilyne the jpg and I’ll print them up (with TLP’s help) and STUFF the box to mail all the love to her.
On sending me one, I haven't had a problem with the ones sent to me in the PM it comes out looking bigger but reduces back to the right size. You can also use, photobucket, dropbox, a few others I don't remember and I can download.

No back is needed. Just to make it simple and hopefully you will post in the gallery (it only takes a tiny reduction). I am going to make a back with TLP, Bart (if I find him, oh yeah he's in a collab), And your name and anything you may have said that I can pass on. Or if there is something you want to say.

Here are some examples from McCurt’s book. Yours don’t have to be fancy. Look at the variety.



If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Don’t let ATC scare you -- it doesn’t have to be fancy. If you are a hybrid ATC maker, you can mail it to me.

ETA: Here is the link to Laura's video

LynneMarie found several journal cards and posted a thread. https://the-lilypad.com/forum/threads/atc-card-gift-box-for-cynthia.44275/ These are just a little bit bigger but reduce them by 85% and you have a perfect canvas. It's a great way to get started.

Here's one I made from a journal card. Instructions in the gallery post. I could have added confetti, sprinkles, birds, anything to jazz it up but it's cute as it is. So don't stress. She'll love that you made it for her.


Let's aim for Sept 15 to mail them. If you could get jpgs to me by Sept 8 then I'll have time to print. The earlier the better so I can print them out. I love that some people are sending hybrids. I might try to do one, just because you have inspired me. Thank you.

I will make one this week and post! Thanks for sharing the idea - it is wonderful! ♥
 
Oh, no! I hadn't heard, poor thing. Not fun. I have been participating in the swap here at TLP as well as another one. Mine are all mixed media/hybrid. I can send you nine extras I have, plus I can make up a couple more that I've got front/backs to. I'd just need to decorate. Plus I can see what I can do to make up a "get well soon" one. I will PM you.
 
Now this is one of the biggest reasons I so luv The LilyPad; What a wonderful idea!!! Count me in, I'll get her done a shared here.
