When the Cats /away
My thirteen old granddaughter had my craft room all to herself for a little over a week. At present, she has at least three art journals going and made several canvases.
This is a small sampling of what she was up to in Nanny's craft room. I mean to tell you, this young lady had a ball!!!!!
Not only will you make this Grandmother very happy, but you will tickle Nicole pink by visiting my blog and leaving a little love. Thanks a bunch!!

OMW! Sandy, I am so impressed with everything Nicole did they are truly amazing and she's only 13. Her creative juices comes from great stock and they will only continue to grow. Awesome job Nicole, will look forward to seeing more creations from you. Sandy you must be so proud. hugs, Ruth Ann

ReplyDeletewow! they are fabulous! how I envy your grand daughter's free style and use of colour. enjoy your art x

ReplyDeletePat xx
Wow she's a real artist, send her greetings to go on!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit on my blog and lovely comments!
Hope you are feeling better;-))m
First things... She is a beautiful young lady and her love for animals is something special. Her Journal pages show aw inspiring artist with lots of creativity as each section has it own theme. Each sentiment has such meaning behind it. Love the purple hair as it defines her own personality to be what she can be. These pages are wonderful. She has a wonderful teacher also.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pat
I can certainly see this young lady has tremendous talent. She must have been watching you very closely & learned a lot of your techniques. Gosh, all of these are so lovely, and you can be justly proud of her, keeping your supplies happy while you are being quiet. I can also see that she had tons of fun. Better keep her around so you 2 girls can have some fun crafting time once you're back up to par. TFS her work...it's fabulous! Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - what a talented young lady, her work is just amazing. She has a definite eye for colour and detail. Her designs are wonderful. I think your talent has rubbed off on her very well! Hope you are making steady progress towards recovery. Thinking of you. Big healing hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteGreat job ! Congratulations !
ReplyDeleteHugs from France.
Catherine.
Wow Nicole, what fabulous journal pages. Lots of colour and gorgeous images. You certainly take after your very talented Grandma. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say thank you for visiting my blog, that was really sweet of you! And now I find out that your Grand daughter is an Art Journaler! And she is really, really good! I wish I was that age so that I could just fill my Art Journals with SOMETHING instead of spending countless hours staring at them! Thank your lovely grandchild for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAwe Sandy this was a great idea to post Nicoles work. Now look at her, fabulous without much help from you. See she is a natural talent and all she needed was little direction from you and off she went. You are a great instructor by the way!!!
ReplyDeleteNicole has a great sense of style and I love the topics she chose to do. My favorites are the top with the scary painting, love how she blended the black/grays and then kept the texture. Perfectly done with blots of red.
Then the 2nd one oh so cool with the angels on the cloud above the silhouettes walking. It is like God's angels looking after her and her friends. I also love the saying on the opposite page she used. The 3rd is so bold and artistic and I love to see her age mixed into a adults style here.
The next one is her entry into She Art, look at the fun angles and the bluetooth device in her ear. Next time she stays you need to have her watch Christy Tomlinson! Can you imagine what really fun faces and journal pages she will do after a class!!!!
The last one reminds me of you and her mom for some reason. When you tell me about Stacy I picture her ambition and travels as a young adult. I see it here in Nicoles art. I see that influence from both of you expressed on this page as if Nicole was there.
I hope she finds time to stick with this as she is fabulous and we could be inspired by her artistry someday.
Nicole is a fine young lady and growing talent in many things and now she can express it in her art. I am so glad you shared this with us!!!
Big Hugs to you and Nicole!
Love Kelly
wowee Sandy, Nicole is showing huge talent, some wonderful journal pages, each page tells its own story. Am sure you are very proud of your fab grand-daughter. Have a wonderful time together, hugs and love Annette xx

ReplyDeleteOMGosh Sandy, she is so talented and creative. I love everything she has done. I would be proud to, she is awesome just like her Grandma. My hands have bothered me typing so have missed posting on my favorite blogs somedays. I can color, but the typing, guess the way you have to hold your hands and arms is keeping me from emailing and posting. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWOW - looks your granddaughter has your talent for art too Sandy. She has done some amazing work here. Bet you didn't see her all day!
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm new to Art Journaling, and I think she's done a fantastic job here. I'd be thrilled if I'd made them.
