The current challenge at A Blog Named Hero is called Golden Oldie. The idea is to pull out one of our oldest stamps and use it. Back when I started stamping, there weren't as many stamp companies around - clear stamps were just starting up and many of the first stamps I purchased at my local scrapbooking store (now closed) were Hero Arts, including this 'celebrate', which I will never get rid of - it's a classic font and you can use it in so many ways! I thought it would be fun to have The Stamps of Life balloons 'lifting' the sentiment.
Here's an example of where I used it ages ago, for my mom's 60th birthday party invitations:
I think it's safe to say that next time we take a picture like this, I will be the short one in the front! lol!
Ardyth, I love this!!! What a fun scene with your sentiment, plus I'm loving the whole diagonal thing in general. AND, I love even more that vintage Ardyth looks just as good as present-day Ardyth. You are just a natural talent!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a photo of your lovely family ... I imagine that would be strange thinking you may be the shortest next time!
What a great card &. Thanks for sharing your family pic with us
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous new way to use your sentiment Ardyth! Love the family photo and know what you mean about being the short one in the front - I'm just waiting for my youngest to overtake me! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI love the way you turned the sentiment and used classic primary colors.
ReplyDeleteLove your family photo! And I'm with you on being the shortest...my little two have a ways to go but my 12 year old is about to pass me up!
I love how you re-visited your older stamp and created something new and fun with it! I love the balloons, and your family photo is great!! I'm now shorter than my entire family too :)
ReplyDeleteWish I had more space in my craft area to pull some of my really old stamps out of storage. Your card is so effective at giving the illusion of the balloons lifting "celebrate" up into the air. So fun!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteArdyth your card is fantastic, I remember that stamp. A beautiful family photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic way to display the word celebrate, especially for a birthday! It is EZACTLY what the word would ask you to do if it could speak!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the updated photo, Ardy! Adorable! Alto, honestly, it looks like you photoshopped your wedding photo into it. What great genes not to age at all. (But you will definitely end up shortest!)
BTW, Kelly G. mentioned to me that the Anniversary link wouldn't let her link again after I told her you had fixed it. Thought you would like to know!

ReplyDeleteSuper use of your sentiment. Love the balloons floating it away. x
ReplyDeleteI love the balloons carrying the celebrate! What a fun card! Lovely family!
ReplyDeleteThat is a fabulous font and I love how the word is floating away on the balloons! Love the 60th card too!
ReplyDeleteLovely family pic!
Both cards are very very cool ... colours on the earlier one, and whole design and idea on the latest, primary balloons lifting the sentiment are fabulous! Such a super photo of your family ... your lovely children are growing up beautifully! Anita :)
