“Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the ‘Titanic’ who waved off the dessert cart.” ― Erma Bombeck

Option #4 in the February This or That? Challenges gives you the choice of creating a layout inspired by either the phrase Carpe Diem (seize the day, option 4a) or Carpe Noctem (seize the night, option 4b). Last Thursday, we took a deep dive into the store and looked at various options for scrapbooking the Carpe Noctem option. Today, I thought we’d seize the day and tackle the flip side!

When it comes to supplies for a Carpe Diem-inspired layout, there are so many sweet kits and cards in the Shoppe to choose from. I’ve pulled not only kits specific to the phrase “carpe diem”, but also those related to sunrise, the morning, breakfast, and early birds. Check them out below and be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom where you’ll find quotes you can use on your next layout about seizing the day (or night):
