Happy Day - DT - CSI/Artastic challenge

Hello, hello, thanks for calling in to say g'day.
I have a simple page to share with you today.
It's a collaboration between
Jane from Artastic, chose the inspiration image and Debbi created the Case File based on this art. If you choose to enter, make sure you post your layout in both the CSI Gallery and on the ARTastic blog (link in their left sidebar). They've got sponsors donating prizes, and all layouts submitted for this special Case File will be entered for our July prizes too. In addition, creators of our favorite layouts will be invited to join us as Special Deputies (guest designers) in September. This Case File will be open for investigation for the entire duration of July.

I wanted to keep the page simple
 to create a sense of space and focus on the photo.
 The sun and clouds were cut from American Crafts
Amy Tangerine, "Scatter Sunshine"
The words are from Heidi Swapp
And the sand is from the children's sandpit!
EVIDENCE
Scallops - around the clouds
Polka dots - rays of the sun
Label - the blue behind the photo and the wood veneer
Transportation accents - the camels
Sand like substance
Silhouettes

TESTIMONY
A sunset camel ride along this famous beach was just one of the many highlights of our three month Odyssey around Australia in our caravan.  The beach lived up to it's reputation; 22 kilometres of pristine sand, turquoise water, vibrant red soil and brilliant Indian Ocean sunsets.
