Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia



Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests - each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar, you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the door’!

And that’s not all! With 25 *amazing* sponsors taking part as guests as well, your crafty wish list is bound to get a boost with a chance to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises await behind the door!


Hello everyone! I am excited to be joining along with this clever, seasonal blog hop! There are so many great prizes up for grabs, plus tons of inspiration! I know you will enjoy being linked up to the fun. So grab a cuppa something warm, a blanket, and get lost in all the holiday beauty!


Today's sponsor is Honey Bee Stamps. They have a wonderful sense of style with a country chic touch. As I start Bible journaling this year, I know that I will be using a ton of their images! Delicate and thoughtful, Melissa's heart for the Lord shines through in all her artwork. 

When I saw the set, Joy to the World, I knew it was the one I wanted to use to make a beautiful Christmas card. This set celebrates the reason for the season, Jesus. And brings back wonderful memories of Christmas hymns sung year after year. After stamping and heat embossing the image in detail gold powder, I needed to create a background.


Bring in the set, Country Wreath! Not only does this set make amazing wreaths, but the images can be used in many different ways! I stamped the star image repeatedly on vellum, then heat embossed it with the same detail gold powder I used on the sentiment. Simple, elegant, and shares the meaning of Christmas. Perfect.

It’s not a party without a prize - and with prizes every day there are several chances to win! Today’s prize is generously supplied by Honey Bee Stamps so you’ll definitely want to win!
