I love making fast and easy scrapbooks, usually choosing a solid and print dp for the entire book and accenting the pages with pretty images like these dogwood blossoms. This was a very special family trip to London and Paris, I kept it simple with black and white dp with heat embossed flowers which I colored with Stampin Up reinkers.
