When I saw the cute label that mops had on her doll that she digitized, embroidered, and shared with us(Thank-you so much, mops)I thought, "I gotta get me some of those." Well, I have always loved to work out challenges. Isn't it a part we all enjoy? Sense of accomplishment, anyone? Anyway, I have a printer that is at least 10 years old, and a Printshop edition that is certainly as old.

Thanks, mops. I love you for sparking my imagination. It didn't seem like so much work to me. Fabric on cardboard, fabric through printer, rotary cut off basting stitches,iron on another piece of fabric to back, rotary cut labels. Done.

Thank-you. I was just so excited with the end results, that I wanted to share. So many people on this site share so much and I don't know how to digitize yet, but I did have this idea....

Very good brain storming and coming up with a very good product. I'm sure you'll design many more to match or compliment your work.

You speak with experience. I've already been fooling around with more templates. Working in my den fills my day with purpose.
