Personal Archival Memory
A TigersTime Studios Exclusive!


You ran your heart out that day.  Maybe it was last week, last year, or a decade ago.  You trained and trained.  You ran a personal best and finally managed a third place in your age group.  And for all your effort, you won a $10 gift certificate that may have netted you a pair of socks.  Super!  What a keepsake.  I can help you remedy that faux pas.

Whether you're a seasoned top competitor or a recreational runner, I want to offer you the opportunity to immortalize your achievements in an ornate, personalized, full color Archival Memory.  Click here to read about the development.  Why not remember that moment for everyone to see?  You don't have to win something to do it.  The race photographers help runners remember events by offering more than photos.  I purchased a rather nice printed mat for one of my race photos.  It has the race time, the race name, the date and location.

I designed these Archival Memories because I wanted something unique and colorful to remember my participation in the 2007 National Senior Games - The Senior Olympics - held in Louisville, KY.  I won the NC qualifying competition, but I could only manage a 5th place AG in the games - 19th overall.  I received a small ribbon.  Who knows, I may never qualify again.

I began the design by obtaining a set of ornate musical score borders.  I went to my printer to review stock and other certificates.  I saw that many had very fine anti-copy lines.  So I obtained a plugin to create those lines.  The ornate borders came with high resolution, authentic parchment images, so I used one as a base paper.  I then added areas for running information and certification.

Design 2 is a commemorative I did following a small 5K race here in NC.  This piece uses a stock background photo.  I have a selection of 36 photos, or you can use your own.  You can also include a race photo.  I also offer you ten color options for your graphics.  I want to offer you the opportunity to remember that special event and grace your wall with a personalized Archival Memory.  I have made several PDF files that will help you with your design.

The commemorative comes fully laminated with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of self adhesive foamcore.  Each can be trimmed to accommodate your frame window offsets.

Fully Laminated Plaques

Wood Plaque Plaque Information Color Charts Background Colors

These are fully laminated plaques.  This is a big step up.  The lamination covers the commemorative and extends all the way to the beveled edge.  We offer this option for the 8" x 10" commemoratives.  The finished plaque size is 13 1/2" x 11 1/2".  Your selected background color is applied to a hardwood composite.  Prior to the laminating process, the plaque's natural beauty is enhanced by applying a wood grain finish or color you have selected.  Material to be laminated is edged in your color choice to match the plaque's beveled outer edges. Each plaque is then hand-worked through a 26-step process.
