We're attempting our first few hides in the next couple of weeks, but can't seem to figure out how to print off the First to Find Certificates. Is there a precedent for these, or does each cacher make one of their own? Ahem...as you can tell......we've have yet to see one...
There are printable FTF certifictes linked on the main page of mbgeocaching.ca.
Click on the MBGA link at the top left, and then click FTF Certificate. You can right click on the image and save it to your computer and print it from there, or click on the image and it can be printed from your browser.
That being said, I generally make my own FTF certificates in MS Publisher or similar. That way I can add cache "themed" clipart.

I use this image -- (click for full size) as a base for my FTF certs. I load it into an image editor and ad the cache name and hide date, then print it out.
For those who use GIMP for image editing, I also have a .xcf file I can pass on.
Great, thank you both! I tried printing them off browser without luck before, but now that they're saved, they print fine. Ours may be a little dull since we're without a colour printer for the time being. Time to bring out the markers! Thanks again.
The ones already suggested are the most popular. It does not mean that you HAVE to use them. Use a bit of imagination and your own talent and make something unique. Check out the cert I made for the Buffalo Blitz. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=638c13d5-6965-4b05-91ed-72cf10428c8a Turdleeggs posted a pic of it.
