Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

This is my first post for today!  For the Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team December Blog Hop please click here!

Good morning!  I’m really excited to be participating in Taheerah Atchia’s Advent Calendar Extravaganza!

\

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 over 60 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 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 wait behind the door!

My card features today’s sponsor, WPlus9!

I love the Woodland Wreaths stamp set!  It’s so easy to make a variety of holiday wreaths…if only I could create actual wreaths like that!  Mine tend to turn out fairly wonky… 😉

Anyway, I stamped the wreath images with a variety of dye inks and then added some berries heat-embossed with gold tinsel embossing powder.  Next I stamped and die-cut the wreath embellishments and added them to the wreath with regular adhesive and foam mounting tape.  I added the sentiment from the Hand-Lettered Holiday and then used a border die from Mama Elephant to add a decorative bottom edge.  I layered it over red cardstock and added little touches of clear wink of stella glitter on my wreath and sentiment.

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 WPlus9 so you’ll definitely want to get your hands on it! Simply leave a comment on this post to enter – then head back to www.taheerah-atchia.com and leave a comment there to double your chances! Don’t forget to grab the other surprise destinations from Taheerah’s blog and head over to them to leave comments there as well to improve your odds even more!
