Sam's Album is DONE :)

Well - the day has arrived....

I finished Sam's album yesterday.

It turned out to be 84 pages.....  quite the "little" project LOL

Here are the final pages....

 

 

As you can see by these two pages - Sam's a

very happy little boy

 

 

The letter S is a thin wooden piece that

I embossed several times and then

embedded a stamp into for texture.

 

All in a day's work.

 

 

Watching TV with Charlie and

learning about all the good shows.

 

Play time.

 

 

 

Formal family photos

 

Ta Da!!!  He's officially ONE.

 

Grandpa & Nanny finish up the album with our thoughts.

 

Now we're off to NY on Tues. for Sam's 2nd birthday...

 

Hope you've enjoyed the journey of his first year :)

 

 



Charlie's 3rd birthday and other brotherly stuff

Here's a glimpse of Charlie's 3rd birthday

and some naptime???

more like playtime pics.

 

 

 

Charlie's Birthday

 

 

A little TV time watching

the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

 

Is it naptime???

Playtime???

 

 



Slides & Swings

Playground fun with

slides & swings....

and his first swing, of course

Fun times in the sandbox playing with trucks!

Small truck image on the bottom band is a stamp

from Stamps by Judith & Heather and

Malibu Beach Mudd Puddles...

 

Sam's first bike (trike)....

This year, he gets one with peddles...

 

 

 

 

 



Grandparents

Today's post from Sam's album

is dedicated to the grandparents..

 

 

First up - Barb & Bob King

 

 

The trains were from a Stamps by Judith & Heather

image that I colored with Copics & used

Glossy Accents on the wheels, then fussy cut.

 

 

Barbara & Joe Santangelo

 

Dennis & Brenda Smalle

 

Made the fun little pinwheels and

added some little flowers to the centers.

Added some google eyes to the owl.

 

Hope you enjoyed this segment...

 

 



Friends Forever

This little bunch has to do with friendship.

The Disco Squad consists of Sam's, dad, Steve and

a bunch of friends that have stayed in

close contact for 20 years.

The first page is dedicated to

the "Future Disco Squad"

Their kids :)

 

 

 

 

The rest are various friends & family.

 

 

Until the next pages are done....

 

 



Story Time & Frogger

 

The boys both love to read

and they have story time

every night before bed

and naps....

 

The book spines are from their

very own collection.

 

 

 

Sam in his frog chair...  thought this

cute image from Rubbernecker

fit the bill...colored with

Copics and glittered up a bit.

Had a little frog punch too.

 

Hope you're enjoying Sam's journey

thru his first year...

 

 



Sleeping or Awake???

Who's awake and

who's sleeping LOL

 

 

Yep - you guessed it!

Sam's awake and the 'rents are sleeping LOL

 

 



Mommy & Daddy

A little mommy & daddy time

with a little of Charlie thrown in

for good measure.

 

 

Good times with Mommy

 

 

 

 

More fun with Mommy

and flowers made with

Spellbinders dies and

Stampin' Up punches

and designer buttons.

 

Special times with Dad & Charlie

 

Special times with Daddy

 

The Mommy & Daddy on two of the pages

were done with chipboard pieces that

have been embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkle's

Cosmic colors using the Batik Embossing

technique and with a little Magic Speckle

added to make them look like ceramic pieces.

 

Hope you've enjoyed these :)

 

 



It's all about the food

Sam's saga continues with

the food portion of the album.

Trying out new things

and wearing them too.

 

Some Easter fun, blowing bubbles

and fun at the water park too.

 

 

 

 

Happy Easter

 

Bubbles are fun!

 

Fun in the sun

 

The food's the thing

 

 

Apparently, Sam didn't like

what was on the menu that day.

 

 

Trying new things.

 

Good stuff.

 

At this stage - anything is a possibility

for food...

 

Thanks for checking in.
