I started assembling (well, getting ready to print) all your precious cards for Cynthia. Tomorrow was the early deadline, but I need a few more. I could use at least 8 to fill the page. Anyone want to make one? Get well, fall, London, Cynthia, scrapping, oh just about any theme you can think of would be welcome. I have received hybrids from mcutt and Sokee. Is anyone else planning to mail? Or did any get missed? The real deadline I was aiming for was the 15th. to allow for hybrids to mail.
Please let me know. I was able to come up with some really special packaging and will try to stuff it tight. Thank you for helping me with this project. It turns out the benefits I got from it -- the fun of having things in my inbox, seeing the special cards, feeling the love -- were things that have helped get me through my dad's illness and now other family issues.
Thank you TLP for helping with the costs and cheering me through my insecurity. Thanks Pink Reptile Design for your donation to pick up a special kit to work the packaging. I'll take pictures and we'll see if we can get pictures from Cynthia's side.
Sorry I added Wednesday as final date. I have school and appointments the next few days so it was my final call. Sorry!

I'll make one tonight! Haven't gotten the chance yet.
 
@carilyne... I forgot this weekend. I'll make it now. What size? And... do I just message you the original in an email?
 
Thanks Jenn 750x1050 pixels is the easiest. Most people have put it in a PM -- it looks large but it shrinks back down. Oh and by the 15th at the latest please. (I really was planning it that way).

Oops forgot to right, so the real deadline is the 15th. But I'd like to know who is going to make one so I can remind you. I still have to make mine. :circles
 
I'm going to try to get it to you tonight... half way done! Thanks Carilyne!
 
ok. I've never done one of these before. I hope this is ok. I will PM you the original. Thanks for doing this for me and TLP, Carilyne! :beat

Here's mine! I PM'd you the full size.

Thank you for coming up with this idea and putting it together, @carilyne! @MrsPeel was one of the first TLP members who stuck in my mind when I joined the forum because of her loving and joyful spirit in the gallery and boards. I hope these cards encourage her as much as she's encouraged us!
 
Ack!!! I will get one done tomorrow night and get it in the post to you. Can you pm me your address so I can mail it????

Just a thought if you have a few blank spots with no ATCs to fill... teabags, pretty ephemera, strips of washi tape fastened to waxed paper so that they can be reused, sequins (would probably have to tape that pocket shut). :-) Anything that would fit into a pocket.
 
Even though I have made one, if you are in need of an other I will rescale this to fit ,or at least part of it.
Let me know if you need it. And thanks a lot for doing this.

That's so cute
I would enjoy putting that in there. You can always use borders if you need. Or if it's a little short I'll just put a piece of paper behind it. You are so sweet to offer.

That is a great idea. I hadn't even thought of something like that but definitely doable. With the extras you sent me I'm pretty safe at getting most filled (thank you so much for thinking of that). Just wanted to put it out there one more time for anyone who had forgotten.
 
Hello,
Last call for Fill a Box of Love. I could use a few ATC's but I have spares if I don't get any. If you wanted to do something and ran out of time. The box will hold a few regular greeting cards or handmade. Or a note. Thank you so much for all the cards you sent. Oh and PM me for an address if you need to mail something.

I forgot to add Sept 15 so definitely tomorrow is soon enough. I seem to forget something everytime. I'd love to get one from you.
