I decided to create my own little beach scene myself, complete with sand, water, and sky...just like Loll. Also, I kept the layout simple just like Loll did, as to not distract from the scene.
I stamped the adorable little dachshund of Rubbernecker called "Dog" with Marvy black dye ink onto X-Press It cardstock. I colored him with Copic markers. I cut around the image with my Cutter-bee detail scissors.
I then cut a piece of X-Press It cardstock with a Nestabilities die and used Copic markers, a white Uni-ball Signo gel pen, and FlowerSoft to create the beach setting for the card. I drew the birds in the distance with a Memento Tuxedo Black marker. I paper pierced around the image panel.
Using my Cricut and the cartridge Life is a Beach, I cut the crab using creme cardstock.. I sponged around the crab with Adirondack Latte dye ink, and used the Uni-ball Signo gel pen and Memento Tuxedo Black marker to add the crab's eyes.
I paper pierced around a panel of Bo Bunny patterned paper. I faux stitched with a colored pencil. I placed the beach scene, complete with the dachshund and crab onto this panel. I framed this panel with creme cardstock. I added Caribbean Baker's Twine around the card, tied a bow and added a brown button for the finishing touches on this card.

Kecia, this is FABULOUS!!! I love the beautiful colors and your terrific beach scene. You also used one of my favorite dog images; I think he is adorable! Outrageously cute, my friend!
