Tuesday Morning Sketches #347 Featuring Lacy Sunshine

Hello again!  I've had a great week.  Spring break has started for my kids and they get the rest of this week off school. We just got back from an overnight trip and I think we might take more just to keep the kids busy.  My daughter is interested in art journaling, so we have been working on some techniques together.  This week instead of making a card to follow the latest Tuesday Morning Sketch, I have an art journal page for you.

We also have Lacy Sunshine Stamps as our sponsor this week.  They have so many fun images!

I have used Mermella Steampunk Siren from Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  I was drawn to this image of the mermaid with the mechanical octopus because it reminds me of some of my favorite books.  I like steampunk and paranormal books.  One of my favorite series is steampunk paranormal.  Although the books does not have any mermaids, they do have werewolves, vampires and ghosts, as well as an "Order of the Octopus" and a mechanical octopus called an "octomaton."

Mermella does have a fishing net, but I didn't include it when I fussy cut her to go into my art journal.

You have through Sunday, April 17 to play along with this sketch.  Please visit my fellow Tuesday Morning Sketches Teammates to see what they have made to inspire you this week!

I'd like to enter my art journal into Crafting With an Attitude Challenge #14 and to Lacy Sunshine Anything Goes Biweekly challenge.  I just saw that they have some of the cutest gnomes.  I told you that I like fantasy creatures!

L is for Legend

The legendary Edna has decide to make a challenge based on her.  "L is for Legend" is the new challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! You might has seen one of those legendary creatures this week on St. Paddy's Day!  

The fun unicorns are from a former Guest Designer, Jess.  She has fun digital freebies on her blog, Useless Trinkets. I printed and cut the unicorns and the mug and colored them with Copic markers. The rest of the cards were made on the computer, so I could just stick those cuties on there.  

Which in theory gave me more time to work on my mermaid art doll.

The mermaid doll is from Retro Café Art, which provides tons of original cutouts for your decoration pleasure.  The only problem I have with their website is that I never have enough money for everything I want to buy.  :(

I hope my creations were legendary enough.  Your challenge is to make us creatures mythical, magical and legendary. The Sisters and I are sure you are up to the challenge!  You have until 11:55 p.m. (2355) on April 1 to enter your legendary creature at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!  

Please visit my fellow Sisters and our current reigning Queen of Snark, Sharon, to see what they have come up with for this challenge!
