My first traditional scrapbook layout for 2009

Well I have been totally unmotivated to scrap - the think tank has run dry and I just have no inspiration whatsoever but Craft and Scrap have a new weekly challenge called Two-sdays where a new challenge is posted every Tuesday. This week we had to do a layout with 2 flowers in it.

I had a play with my MM Slice and made my flowers and scrolls. That machine just saves so much time - it's just brilliant.

I chose photos which I took of our Blackboys (Grasstrees). These have always held a fascination for me. I love the way after a fierce bush-fire, come a shower of rain and they send out a new skirt and spear.

Just after the drought I lit the skirts of mine and they have come on beautifully with new green growth and lovely spears.
