So why do I start off my LPS Monday with an evil cackle? Because I set the DT challenge this month for which I have been roundly castigated! And guess what I made them do? Scrap a page...hee hee!
I have used LPS stamps to scrap the following pages in the past (I am rehashing them here just to prove you can use stamps in your scrappy creations!) and have been enjoying the switch lately (esp. since I and the kids get to look back at the pages again and again!).
I used {Father} with a picture of Ave and her grandpa. I am thinking I will give this to him as a present for Father's Day (if I can bear to part with all this Origins loveliness!).
Positive note of the day: What a gorgeous day we had. I love it when spring finally comes to Calgary. A little rain and all that green appears! T and I (the girls came too but they were not as impressed) hit the garden centre just as it was opening for the season on Friday (all of you who live in much warmer climes can laugh now). We got a hanging planter of strawberries, a new tomato container (we have more luck in containers than in the clay-like soil here) and a lavender "tree". I think we were almost giddy with all the plants...he and I could easily spend my monthly pay cheque every time we go!
P.S. I love lavender (ever since I went to the Australian pavilion at Expo '86 in Vancouver where the whole place smelled of it)...I had to share this gorgeous pic I tripped across.

Fabulous pages. I don't know how you find the time to scrap. It takes me forever to do one page. Love this one of Ave and Grandpa - pure sweetness. I love lavender, too. I just bought two new plants - Illinois is tough on Lavender and my other two plants died finally last winter. I have a little linen pouch filled with dried lavender buds that I stick inside my pillow case where I can smell it every night before I go to sleep.
Lovin all of youe pages, but the one of Grandpa and Avery is my fav!!!
Fabulous Page Allison! I was cursing you the whole time I made my page and then loved you because I LOVE the page! Who knew! PS love the lavender!
Oh Allison just PRECIOUS!!
Lovin your gorgeous layouts...all of them! YOu naughty minx you! Thanks for the fun challenge!
That is one sweet page! I adore that girl's smile!
Yes, you evil woman and your scrapbook challenge. LOL. Actually I loved it, I need to scrap more like I used to. Your page for today is adorable as are all the pages you have shown us. You go girl!!!
I just love your pages - they all speak volumes! Where oh where did you get that lavender pix? Where is that place - I have to go there! Good luck with the plants! I haven't put in my tomatoes or peppers yet as I think that we could still get some more snow, but the spinach, lettuce and radishes are all doing just fine. ~chris
that grandpa page is the best the cute models didn't hurt either, I love it. what a great lavender picture too.
WOW WOW Allison I LOVE the green and this bg paper, what a fabby page girl! TOOOOO SWEET!
I wish I had some photos of my kids with their grampa. Sadly, any I took I always gave away. Hopefully some survived of the negatives. Anyways, I love lavender too. I have this baby wash I found that is supposed to be relaxing so I use it with a warm shower when I am upset (every night) before I take my books or crayons to bed with me. I did find one very nasty lavender thing-it was a jelly served at an INternational eatery In Lansing a few years ago. It was so nasty nasty that I was afraid I would never want to smell it again. But I am okay with fresh. Just don't eat it.
I always think about "Scrapping" but where would I find the time. Love your pages...and the Lavender photo is divine!
