It's a "retro" challenge @ shimelle.com

One of the challenges @ shimelle.com was to "go retro" by scrapping any photos taken prior to this year.  I went way back to 1963 for these photos of my sister and me in our little backyard pool.  I was about 7 and my sister was 1-1/2.  I have no idea what's up with the bathing cap I'm wearing - guess I'll have to ask my mom about that stylish accent, LOL!   I used some Jillibean Soup and Luxe papers on this one and a sketch from the new Sassy Lil Sketches ebook.
