It’s time for Brag Monday #23! Today I’m bragging about 2 more projects from last week’s Brag Monday party. And wow you guys really made it tough to narrow it down this time!
First I’m bragging about Clara & Marcela from Nice and Easy Antiques. These fabulously talented ladies created this stunning lamp shade using the Vintage bird image found HERE.
Next I’m bragging about the very clever and creative Marie from Lost Bird Studio! Marie created this wonderful kitchen sack, using a vintage Paris label graphic found HERE.
Now it’s your turn! Have you made something from an image here at The Graphics Fairy that you would like to share? Or do you have a favorite image from here that you would like to share on your blog? Don’t be shy, we want to see it!! It’s time to brag! You might even be featured on a future Brag Monday post. Just add a link below in the McLinky box.
Here are just a few rules:
1)
Artwork/creations or graphics displayed must include at least one image from this site. (Pssst – you can link to an old post if you like, so check back in your archives)2)
Add a link to your items specific blog post (in the McLinky gizmo at the bottom of this post) or page, not the main page of your site.3) Link to this post, by either adding the “Brag Monday” button to your post. ( Just cut and paste the code above and add it to your post and the button should appear) or just add a link. (This is required and should make things more fun, so that we can all hop around and see every one’s creations!) You could also add the button to your sidebar if you like.
4)Test your link
and make sure it’s working! If your link gets deleted, it’s because you missed one of the rules, so just reread them and post again!5)Visit as many of the other “Braggers” 😉 as you can and leave comments on their blogs. Oh yeah, and have fun! I’ll leave the MckLinky open until early Tuesday morning so that gives you a little extra time to put something together if you don’t already have something to share!
XXXOOO
Té la mà Maria - Reus says
March 1, 2010 at 12:42 pmI cannot tell why some things hold for me
A sense of unplumbed marvels to befall,
Or of a rift in the horizon’s wall
Opening to worlds where only gods can be.
There is a breathless, vague expectancy,
As of vast ancient pomps I half recall,
Or wild adventures, uncorporeal,
Ecstasy-fraught, and as a day-dream free.
It is in sunsets and strange city spires,
Old villages and woods and misty downs,
South winds, the sea, low hills, and lighted towns,
Old gardens, half-heard songs, and the moon’s fires.
But though its lure alone makes life worth living,
None gains or guesses what it hints at giving.

March 1, 2010 at 2:25 pmHi Karen,
I’ve been following you for about a year now and love your site! Two things:
One, I noticed in your profile, under interests, you mention Asperger’s – I have two Aspy girls!
Second, a few posts down, a woman named Nancy was looking for some digging-in-the-garden graphics. I think I can help her, so if you or she would contact me, that would be great!

March 3, 2010 at 12:55 pmI just last night learned of your brag Monday challenge, and I missed the McLinky deadline. Is it possible to contribute to next week’s or the week after? Here’s my link: http://khixkrafts.blogspot.com/2010/03/graphics-fairy-challenge.html
Karen- The Graphics Fairy says
March 4, 2010 at 1:28 amHi Just4khix,
Yes, you can contribute next Monday or any Monday there after. You will need to add your link yourself though. The linky gadget and the “Brag Monday” post always begin Monday morning, between 7:30-8:30 AM Eastern time, and you can add it then, or anytime that day.
I’m so glad you’ll be joining us!!
