Seize the day!

Have you ever heard the phrase "Carpe diem?" It's Latin...and it basically means "seize the day!" Well, this card is all about living for the day! Say what?! Yep . . . just wait for it! It will all become clear very shortly! But first, my card!


This little cutie is Tilda . . . and she's perched on top of her luggage . . . waiting for a Taxi maybe? I think she's ready to start a new adventure in her darling paper-pieced dress! Here's sort of a side view . . .


These DPs are from My Minds Eye, the Lost & Found "Madison" collection. The lace and roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts . . . and the seam binding is from The Ribbon Girl. Here's a peek at the inside . . .


I actually did almost nothing to the inside other than layering some of the DPs. That Eiffel Tower is part of the DP design. The only thing I did was add a couple of stamped images . . . including a fabulous sentiment quote by author and humorist, the late Erma Bombeck. Here's a close-up . . .


Fabulous sentiment, huh?! So, there ya have it . . . Carpe diem! Or, as I like to say, "Eat dessert first!"


And, last but not least, the "artsy" view . . .what can I say? Carpe diem!! hehe!


I've decided to enter this card into the following challenges:

And that's it for me, my lovelies!! Thanks so much for visiting . . . and for your sweet comments! They make my day! Hugs...until next time . . . .
