Sorry that I have been MIA for a bit, but we’ve been traveling quite a bit over the past few weeks. We have made the drive from South Padre Island, Texas, all the way to Asheville, North Carolina so I haven’t had any scrapping time at all! 🙁

The following is a layout from our time last year on South Padre Island in Texas.

Our Trip – April 2010 – South Padre Island, Texas

Our Trip – April 2010 – South Padre Island, Texas

JOURNALING: April 3 arrive. April 29-30 Ted’s visit. May 1 Depart

SUPPLIES USED: Travel Stack by DCWV, K&Company embellishments, Tim Holtz Distress Ink

TECHNIQUE TIP: I wanted to convey the overall beach and palm tree theme throughout this layout, but didn’t have one set of papers or embellishments that I thought worked. I combined both DCWV and K&Company to come up with the perfect themed layout. Don’t be afraid to mix and match manufacturers.
