Blog Candy time!! :) / Hanglar Christmas




Okay, this didn't take me long to do... few hours is better than two days! :) But I LOVE these Hanglar beauties, but oh dear... it takes me quite some time to make myself colour them in! :)Thanks Lim for these lovely images! This darling is from the Winter kit, I have read, and they are soo lovely to shade and embellish. I am trying to send my Christmas cards this week, but I write my message on Traditional cards... these "cuties stuff" don't show the REAL Christmas spirit, so I send them additionally as a gift. Coloured the image with watercolours. Short post this morning, cause I have lots to catch up with!!





Papers: Papermania Simply Elegant
Stamp: HAnglar & StAnglar
Sentiment: Dovecraft Clear Stamp
Pearl Brad: Papermania
Brads: Dovecraft
Dewdrops: Roses on Paper (from the Men's Bottle)





Othe things I used: Punched flower,Prima flower, Piece of gold elastic Stampin'up Circle of Friendship stamp, sack cloth
I hope that you'll have a lovely week, and that you spread this cheer and love to all your friends.. and maybe think of making happy someone in need!

2. Leave a comment in this post, telling me one (or more) good deeds that you, or your family may have done,or would like to do, especially during Christmas time.

You may have even been a kid.. doesn't matter. Shared your stuff, gave something to someone out of love.. anything! We all have good in us, and we need each other to make more courage to do some more good in our small world. As for me..

I remember that even though as a kid we weren't a "rich" family (as dad died when I was seven). I used to be very attentive not to make mum buy me a lot of stuff.. we needed money for more important things ( I used to think.)But nonetheless I really used to be sensitive for those kids around me who didn't have sweets,and especially at Christmas time I used to collect all the sweets and small presents I used to get, and give them to my classmates that were poor, or were a bit neglected. I never forgot the lovely feeling sharing gives me.

I will draw the prize on Friday 19th Dec. 21.00 European time. Will ship worldwide.

Whew such a long post today!! :)

Thanks for looking

Hello Rosette, all your cards are gorgeous, I love your stamped images, I am trying to practice with my stamps. Will post some on my blog over Xmas if I have time.

Christmas time is our time to remember our lost ones and to spend time with one another as we all have a busy life with school, college and work and outside interests as well. Some we make this ourtime and ourtime to remember friends and family that we dont get a chance to see.

Well done on your 5000 hits.

Bagpuss685 said...

Well done Rosette on reaching your 5000 viewing.

Christmas time for us is about remembering friends and family no longer with us. And having quality time as a family as we are normally so busy doing other things at other times during the year, with work, college and school

Hope you have a enjoying Christmas

stampingtink said...

Your cards are just beautiful! Love that Hanglar and what beautiful colors! Love her!

I love Christmas and to have family together. Since my daughter goes to her grandparents and Dad's for Christmas dinner, I volunteer to work Christmas day at the bowling alley so those with families can spend their time together. It makes me feel good to be able to help them be together.

Thanks for the opportunity to win some blog candy!

Hi Rosette,
your card is lovely and the image really cute!
Thank you for the chance to win your gorgeous Blog Candy and congratulations on your 5000 hits!
Every Christmas, I always buy an extra present and donate it to a scheme that sends the presents to local underpriveleged children. I also donate to Child Line (a charity close to my heart).
Have a great Christmas,

Good deeds, hmm... throwing the nighbours' kids' ball back over the hedge over and over again, instead of ignoring or hiding it? Preparing 6 boxing day envelopes with money in it? Not sure any of this really counts ... but my supporting a Nepalese child (and through him his community) might make a difference.

Thank you for offering up this super blog candy!
For 5 years, when my children were living at home we adopted a family in need in another state. We bought clothing, toiletries, and food items which we shipped to them every month, along with a long letter. My children enjoyed buying birthday and Christmas gifts for the young children in the family and I felt such a glow each time the mother of the family wrote back to me.

Hi Rosette
Aww what wonderful candy with such great sentiment behind it all -

Our local Asda (Supermarket)has a tree and they hang labels on the tree eg boy aged 5 or girl aged 2 - these are children whose families maybe can't afford a lot of presents for them at Xmas, I always pick two labels one for a boy and one for a girl - You then have to buy a nice appropriate little present for the age - then return it all wrapped with the label attached - the store then distributes them to the families. This year I chose a boy aged 8 and a girl aged 5 - It's a great thing to do for local children and I love it...

Hugs
Dawn

Rosette~ What wonderful candy you are being so generous and giving away!

Good deeds...well my mom had surgery a few weeks ago and still have weight restrictions so my sister and I surprised her one day while she was gone and put up her christmas tree for her! My parents were so surprised when they got home my mom was almost crying! I also always do the "toy for tot" program where we buy a toy and donate it to the less fortunate children in our area. And this year I am going to donate my time to help my mom with her Little Church program at our church.

Thanks for the chance to win. You can see my link to your candy here!
Hugs~ Kim

I Love your card. You do a spectacular job coloring them in, It's worth the time it takes. The best thing Ihavedone at Cristmas time nad even try to do thru the year is help thosein need. I have been rasied poor so I know how itfeels to be in need and I know I can always go without a little bit less so others can have more. I try to make my kis realilze this too. I do not want to raise a greedy bunch.Happy Holidays to you and your family.
