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’!
Sugar Pea Shepherd’s Lantern
I owned a couple Sugar Pea stamps I found at an LSS in the midwest a few years ago…but hadn’t shopped at their store yet. (My bad, eh!?) When Taheera told me they were the sponsor for “my” day, I wanted to use their stamps – and I was delighted to see what’s offered in their shop! I bought the lantern die and little shepherd stamp, thinking the shepherd-in-a-lantern would be like my fox-in-a-jar obsession (ha). I didn’t really look to see if the shepherd would fit INSIDE…but I’m actually glad at the way it worked out in the long run anyway!
Don’t forget to add a treat to the inside of your card!
Another coloring of the shepherd image I finished last night…I made it a girl, too!

I’m always amazed by your coloring. I am hoping to take at least one of your classes in the coming year. I would love to learn to shade and color better.
I like both versions of the shepherd. I like the lantern stamp too. It could be used lots of ways.
