I have chosen the word Rainforest for my R word.
This is a special post for me because my 13 year old granddaughter Nicole designed the left hand page. It was her idea to do "Rainforest" This was a practice page because she wanted to do her own dictionary. I turned her lose with my PanPastels and away she went. I stole her practice page to go in my dictionary. Now aren't I smart!!!!! Unfortunately the picture does not show the glass beads I used to make dew drops or the vintage glass glitter on the butterflies. As the sunlight filters through the forest luscious flowers bloom.
Thanks for your visit and once again I thank you for your lovely comments - they do mean a lot to me!!

Awesome Sandy, I so wish I could let myself go like Nicole did, and just love your page, love the prints of ferns, the shades and the lovely butterflies. Fabulous! I am out this week... no inspiration at all.

This page is wonderful Sandy. How awesome to work with your granddaughter. You are a lucky lady :) Her work shows she has her grandma's talent. Thanks for sharing. Inspiring as always.

Nicole grasped the rainforest perfectly deep into the trees. She colors softly like you do. Both blend together perfectly and I love the greens and yellows. I think is was very creative of you to make a close up of the flower and leaves where Nicole had made the overall forest tree and foilage. They are both beautifully made. Two great minds create alike. hehe
I love them she will be back asking for more time crafting with grandma!
Love Kelly
Wonderful work from you both, fabulous rainforest with the butterflies fluttering about.

How absolutely wonderful you and your granddaughter can share creative ventures together. A great collaborative piece of work. Absolutely love the butterflies - are they a stamp? The glass glitter is beautiful! I love the stuff. hugs, Donna
Fab project Sandy and extra special because Nicole's work is right along side yours. I love the artsy look of this and when you enlarge the pic, you can see all the sparkles. Beautiful work.
Oh yes, how are Flip & Flop doing?
Lucky you to have such a smart & talented granddaughter to share your artistry with. In days to come, she will remember this as a special & treasured time. This is just lovely, and what a wonderful idea to celebrate the Rain forest! Loved the soft muted greens, grays with the pop of turquoise & hot pink. TFS.
Fabulous pages, Your Grandaughter is so creative just like her Grandma... Gorgeous Butterflies & glitter.. Love the colours...
I hope wee Flip & Flop are doing well and thriving in their new home!! Have a great weekend Sandy... Hugs May x x x
What a gorgeous family collaboration Sandy, such a special thing to do and I'm sure much more will happen, you are both very talented ladies.
Lol my 5yr old daughter has the journaling bug too, ha ha ha she does much more than me and I'm sure she has about 10 books on the go at the moment. Some of her drawings are in a little journal I made and posted last sep/oct for a month long journaling class.
OMG flip and flop are amazing, you are so lucky, I can't wait to see more pics.
Thank-you so so much for all your lovely comments sweetie, very touching and special.
Mahoosive huggles x x x x
Two wonderful pages, great colors. What about Flip and Flop ?
Love your pages Sandy! Isn't it frustrating when our pics just do not pick up how beautiful our projects are! It sounds wonderful!
Ohh Sandy, both pages are stunning! Your granddaughter is really talented, just as her grandmother. Hugs, Sandra
Way to go, Nicole! A great choice of word, and wonderful left hand page - and a great idea to "borrow" it back!! Beautiful work from you both...
