Might be a good idea, maybe their friends will hire me to make one for them! Ha, ha.

Anyway, probably would be a good idea for history sake. I am sure in 50 years they won't remember my name (well, not my nephew - he BETTER remember my name!). :thumbup:

I should copy the original photo, and include it on the label!! Light bulb going off here...

I don't know about the friends, but I'm pretty sure their mothers would jump at the opportunity. ;-)

Woah! Correction! In my tute, I said I did the name and date after the black backing is fused - wrong - I cut out the name and date after the body and diploma, so I can tell where it will best fit, and I can plan the edge cuts - but I do it BEFORE the pressing of the fusible to the black.
