The theme of my card is for the free for all challenge, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". This image has always, always reminded me of summer days on the beach with my younger sister. People always thought that we were twins, since my mom dressed us alike a good deal of the time. She was a blue-eyed blond, so she usually wore blue, and I had brown hair and eyes, so I usually wore pink. That's what drove my color choices for the dp and watercoloring. Fun, fun, carefree days!
The layout is a slightly altered CASE of THIS CARD by Kramomma, who is this week's Queen for the Day. I squared up her sketch and used dp instead of an embossed layer, but kept the four-square arrangement under the main image (which I why I chose this card to CASE). Yeah, that's it...

This image has been a favorite of mine for a very long time. But alas, I don't have it. You did a splendid job with your CASE layout. My sister and I use to spend summers on the beach in southern California, and with our grandparents in northwestern Washington state. We loved the tidal pools and all our wonderful finds. We hold those memories dear to our hearts. Thank you for sharing your lovely card and reminding of something I loved to do with my sister (my bestie).

I think the image your chose is a good example of the words I had used and I do adore this image, reminds me of my favorite cousin who just moved to Australia.
I also like how your double layered the squares. Enjoy your sister, I don't have one.
