Brag Monday – Christmas Elf Card & a GIVEAWAY

Written by 120 Comments

Well, it’s time for the 12th Brag Monday! I’m switching the order up a bit this week, I’m going to discuss the giveaway first and then the bragging will commence.


This GIVEWAY is now CLOSED, a winner will be announced soon, thank you to all of you for participating!

So, welcome to the “BE STILL MY HEART” GIVEAWAY !!!
The prize for this giveaway is this gorgeous flaming heart from “Cody Foster & Co”! This stunning piece is made of gold toned metal, with a monogrammed “M” (for the Virgin Mary) on the front. There is a hook on the back so that you can hang it. It’s a newly made piece, but looks like a relic from an old Paris Cathedral. Exquisite!!!

If you would like to enter, leave a comment on this post. The giveaway ends on Friday, and you may enter once per day. And as a bonus, for anyone that is participating in todays Brag Monday, you will get 2 extra entrys for linking up!

Please note: This giveaway was provided by me, via my shop www.fleurish-home.com


So now let the bragging commence!!! Today I’m bragging about dear sweet Julie from A Vintage Chic. Julie made this fabulous Christmas card using this adorable Holly Elf image from Here. I hope you will stop by her site, she’s always whipping up something fabulous, whether it’s a gorgeous card or the most delicious looking treats, you won’t be disappointed!!




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 repost again!

5)Visit as many of the other “Braggers” 😉 as you can and leave comments on their blogs. Oh, and have fun!

I’ll leave the MckLinky open until Tuesday night so that gives you a little extra time to put something together if you don’t already have something to share!


XXXOOO

    What a nice giveaway! and even though I might change my name’s beginning letter if I win it, my daughter’s name already begins with M and I might have to give it to her.

    thank you for offering!

    Gorgeous card – I made a Sunday Postcard with “your” Santa-http://artfullyooglebloops.blogspot.com/2009/12/sunday-postcard-art.html
    The giveaway is fabulous – it reminds me of the tiny vintage perfume bottles my mother collects. If I was lucky enough to win, I’d give it to her!!!!

    The card is beautiful, and the ornament is truly elegant. As soon as I read “Paris cathedral”, I could visualize exactly what you meant. It’s a gorgeous piece.

    Thank you so much for your generosity in offering up this gift for the holiday season to a lucky reader !
