What can't I do without?

Tea, for one. Show Us Your Stuff's #1 challenge for March is to scrap about something you can't live without. I really look forward to the one cup of tea I have per day. I find it enjoyable and soothing. So, I decided to go and make a cup of tea. As it was after midday I had to make a decaf one and I drank it whilst scrapping this layout. How's that for inspiring? As I started doing to layout I discovered that it closely resembled a sketch I had printed that morning for the challenge at Anna's Craft Cupboard so I decided that it would do nicely for both challenges. I enjoy making girl, pink layouts as I don't get to do it often. I incorporated two home made flowers I have recently made. The bottom part of the flower is a lace flower, the top is a satin ribbon flower on black tulle. Combined I quite liked the effect. For Show Us Your Stuff you must include something homemade and the flower fit the bill nicely. I've used Anna Griffin papers and Basic Grey stickers.
