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
What a talented young lady your granddaughter is, Sandy! She obviously has a very good eye for colour and design. It's lovely to see how much she is encouraged by her nanny! Hugs, Tracey x
wow! they are fabulous! how I envy your grand daughter's free style and use of colour. enjoy your art x
Gosh Sandy these are all gorgeous, what a lot of work has gone into them, and what a very talented young lady Nicole is. You definitely have some competition there Sandy. Hope you are feeling much better.
Pat xx
Wow she's a real artist, send her greetings to go on!
Thank 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.
Hugs, 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
Oh 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
Great job ! Congratulations !
Hugs 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
I 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!
Awe 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!!!
Nicole 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

Good heavens to Betsy, these shots are fantastic!!! The apple certainly doesn't fall far from the apple that already fell from the tree does it?? Like Grandma like Granddaughter....AWESOME!! I'll say Nicole had some fun and most certainly deserves accolades of praise. LOOVE the Bwhahahahahaha entry and the images and mixed media techniques are fabulous at such a terrific age. I can only venture to say that it will improve like wine....with age!

Well, Nicole is one talented young lady! You must be so proud of her. These creations are wonderful. This makes me long for a grandchild to share my love of craft with! My kids are not intending to marry anyone any time soon though, so I'll have to be patient! Julie Ann xx
Hi Sandy!
your grand daughter has wonderful talent. Loved looking at her creations.
Oh dear sandy, just read of your fall.
I hope you are feeling much better.
Hugs Maz
Wow...Nicole is a fabulous little artist! Wonderfully creative pages and a lot of talent in this little gal. I especially like the fourth picture with the Courage sentiment. Each page is beautiful but I particularly like the colours and meaning of that one. I would say her and gram have a blast crafting together and we all know she inherited a huge talent!
Your granddaughter sure has talent. I love seeing what she created. Thanks for sharing. You have a lot to be proud of.
Thank you for your frequent visits and kind comments on my blog. I so appreciate them. They are quite encouraging!

She definitely takes after her talented grandmother! What incredible pages! I really struggle to make art journalling look natural, but her creativity just flows out across the pages.

Wow Sandy your granddaughter should be very proud of herself these are truly wonderful works of art, awesome work.

Hi Sandy and thanks for popping in to see me and leaving such lovely comments. Your beautiful granddaughter certainly has some talent and seems to have enjoyed herself in your craft room. I see she likes the Julie Nutting doll stamps too - I can't stop playing with them. Margie x
How incredibly talented your granddaughter is! Her works are beautiful
Wow....the talent and the creativity! I wonder where she gets it from???
Yes!! Gotta love a gal who has 3 different art journals going. So many gorgeous pages... love the purple hair flowing across the pages and the neat texty gal with the pink skirt. Nicole's a born journaler!
Wonderful pages...and I can't believe you have so many journals! So wonderful!
Wow! Amazing work. So beautifully done. I wonder where she go her talent from....Hmmm... Looks like you have lots of fun together.
Karen
Nicole is well on her way to being a great artist. I really enjoyed her journal pages. My grandmother was my muse for crafting too...I have fond memories of those long-ago but oh, so dear days.
oh my...she really is taking after Granny!
Seems there's a lot of talent running in the family! ;)
Awesome art journaling! Your granddaughter is so lucky to have a grandma that provides her with all the stuff that gets the mojo flowing!

wow it looks like she had fun, it looks great! Groetjes karin
OMGosh 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!
WOW - 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!
As 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.
Hugs
