oh, a challenge after my own heart today, Linda...I love to use windows...and I have admired all those really cool die cut windows...
I've been thinking on how to convey the idea of exploring that big~O world outside and kept coming back to the thought of what is outside your vision. A limitless world. You just have to take that step! Sometimes, maybe often times, it's a leap of faith, but open your eyes, take a deep breath, and pack those bags!
For my card, I've used Lynn Ward's Green Pepper Press Physical Graffiti stamps which include the window and sentiment. My intrepid adventurer is an unknown image. The beautiful world out his window is a DCVW map paper. I added 'go' and the twine at the top. The wallpaper for the room is Basic Grey.
I never want to stop exploring my world and while the days of international travel for me are more in my past, I have so much right in my own backyard that beckons me. What about you? I would love to hear w{here} is calling you.
Be blessed

Love the thought of this card.....I could also picture this as a great way to make a graduation card. You are so right about looking outside your window to many beautiful places right in our own back yard. I live in a beautiful state with Lake Michigan, many bluffs, and the quaint Door County only 30 minutes away. Thanks for reminding me to get out and enjoy more. Thanks also for playing along in the challenge. I always enjoy your work.

What a fantastic take on the challenge! Your windows look amazing and I love the twine you added. Yes, there is a whole great big world out there to explore! I have been to eight countries out of 195 (give or take) so I feel like I have only started! Your card really is a wonderful reminder, don't wait...go! Due to my health, I am limited to where I can go, but I still am dreaming about South Africa, Dubai, France, ...

The single word GO (in RED I might add!) is so impelling (propelling?, compelling?) as an adventurous way of life. I continue to marvel at what goes on in those fun synapses!!

Oh my goodness, this is SO creative. I love the image of the man and that wonderful sentiment. Then I noticed the world map outside the windows - Perfect! Into my faves.
