LMNO Project Life Pages - July

It has certainly been a long time since I've posted any pictures of my pages from my PL. I've taken some quick snaps using my iphone...so please excuse the glare. July is complete but I can never really say that I'm done done because there are times where I find myself going back and adding an embellishment here and there.

I have always been good about getting my pictures printed on a timely manner. Sometimes I would send them to Shutterfly, and sometimes to Costco. Depending on how anxious I think I'll be. I like to get them into the page protectors as soon as I have my pictures in hand. I simply to get the pictures slipped in chronological order and trimmed into the page protector along with some notes and this satisfies my sense of accomplishment.

One might think that my method of keeping up with PL is somewhat different but this has worked for me. In the last couple of months, I began to work on my pages after the kids were in bed...keeping the pages simple and without having to overthink the process. I'm happy to say that I've since caught up and make PL part of my everyday routine and hope to stay current.

Enjoy!

 

Not all pages are created equal. Every once in awhile, I resort to using a different size

page protector to add-on misc. notes, cards, drawings and/or keepsakes.

Happy 5th Birthday Landon! July 19, 2014

Landon has been counting down the days before his 5th birthday! He asked me every morning if it was his birthday...so then I decided, to post a calendar on the fridge to give him a visual perspective and give him the opportunity to practice counting. Each morning in July Landon and Olivia would take turns drawing a X on the day and then they would count down how many days it was until it was his birthday.

This picture was taken at his school...he requested chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles...his Gu-Je (Auntie Joyce) made it happen...and his birthday cupcakes would not be complete unless we had his flying friends with him. His face glowed when his class starting singing Happy Birthday to him. Love the smile.

The boy wasn't going to make the basket but he has lift!

Landon is not shy about volunteering

Another great week at Basketball Clinic. Thanks to Evergreen and for all the individuals who volunteer to make this happen. Landon loving every moment.

L & N in Little Tokyo

Just moments before this picture was taken Landon was an active little boy...giggling, climbing all over the place, and running around. How managed to capture this quiet moment of reflection is a little amazing.

Landon's First Basketball Clinic

Landon was so excited about learning how to play basketball he woke up at 6am. Just a bit earlier than usual to tell Dad it was time to get up and go play. The clinic was going to start at 9am. He was just a wee bit excited to get going.

Landon asked Daddy for a red shirt...and we were happy to get him one but what he was really asking for was a red jersey with a number on the back. Not yet son...this is a clinic on learning how to play. In time, in time.

 L gets his first basketball and learns to dribble. He is loving it...

 I have to say that he has pretty good form...nice shot by Norm.

Stampin' Up! My Paper Pumpkin : Hey, Mab

My designer and I spent our lunch time today to make our cards from this months My Paper Pumpkin.

Was quick, simple and fun to make in a very short amount of time.

The kit came with enough materials to complete 4 full sized cards/env and 2 smaller sized sq cards.

Stampin' Up! Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit

This card kit was so much fun to put together. The kit comes with enough materials to complete 20 cards with envelopes. Took about 1.5-2 hours total to make all the cards. Hip Hip Horray!

I made 3 additional cards and a gift tag with the extras from the kit. I used every bit except some white bakers twine.
