Brag Monday - Creepy Spider Bottle & Fall Luminaries

It's time for Brag Monday #104! Once again I'm bragging about two more projects from the last Brag Monday party.




First I'm bragging about this fun Halloween Spider Bottle made by Nan at You Could Make That! She used the Vintage Spider Image, for this creepy piece! She has a full tutorial on her blog so that you can make one just like this, and you don't need a white bottle to do it!




Next I'm bragging about these fabulous Fall Luminaries, crafted by Poppy at With a Dash of Color! Aren't these darlings?! She used the Lady Silhouette Image for this project!




Now it's your turn! Have you **made something from an image here** at The Graphics Fairy that you would like to share? 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 and make sure you link back, so everyone can play! (Etsy shop sellers: since you can't link, just include my url somewhere on your listing. I will only feature those projects, that give credit back. Fair is fair!)

To see more inspiring projects be sure and visit my new sites:
