Since I began scrapbooking, I have been spent\u00a0almost 100%\u00a0of my time and energy on creating\u00a0physical scrapbooks.\u00a0 However, I know that not everyone has the time to put together a scrapbook with printed photos, paper, and\u00a0embellishments (apparently I don’t either, considering I just now finished\u00a0the scrapbook for a trip from over two and a half years ago).\u00a0 I am\u00a0finally stumbling into the world of digital scrapbooking and can’t wait to share what I’ve come up with! It’s a lot quicker and a lot cheaper.\u00a0 I love how I can choose the size of the pictures without ordering several options.\u00a0 I can also swap pictures very easily.\u00a0 I’m looking forward to spending more time on the digital side of scrapbooking, but I am sure I will never give up the physical scrapbooks.<\/p>\n

Anyway, during our visit to Solvang, Ryan and I wine tasted in several areas\u00a0in the Santa Ynez Valley – Solvang (wineries that were not downtown tasting rooms), Los Olivos (downtown), Foxen Canyon (Los Olivos), and Lompoc (the wine ghetto).\u00a0 On past trips, we have also tasted in downtown Solvang and\u00a0Santa Maria. \u00a0Here are a few pages that I made (my first digital pages!) with pictures from our trip. \u00a0I started out with some background “paper” that I created – two using pictures we took and one using Adobe Illustrator.<\/p>\n

Left: Created from a picture taken at a vineyard in Solvang, CA<\/em>;\u00a0Center: I took a picture of a bar at one of the wineries we visited. \u00a0I used a few copies of the picture to fill the page;\u00a0<\/em>Right: Created in Adobe Illustrator based on the Danish-style buildings throughout Solvang.<\/em><\/p>\n

And now for the three pages I completed using the “paper” above:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0These pictures were taken while wine tasting, and I wanted to stick with the traditional mix of green and purple to accompany them. \u00a0Nothing too fancy (expect for the gorgeous font – Some Weatz Swatches). \u00a0I love rounded corners, so I incorporated that easy technique to this page.<\/p>\n

\u00a02. \u00a0This next page is so completely different than any wine tasting page I’ve ever envisioned. \u00a0The Lompoc Wine Ghetto consists of 17 wine tasting rooms in warehouses, so the metal background and warehouse flooring seemed very appropriate.\u00a0For your warehouse flooring needs, your local\u00a0warehouse flooring installers<\/a>\u00a0can be of great help.

3. And finally, a few pictures from downtown Solvang! \u00a0I used the Danish-style building background for this and found red push pins at this site<\/a>. \u00a0I’ve used brads, eyelets, and other embellishments on pages I’ve created in the past, but real push pins would obviously pose a problem. \u00a0I love the cork board look.<\/p>\n

And that’s it for the recap of our Solvang trip over the long 4th of July holiday. \u00a0We are very much looking forward to all of the other fun trips we have planned this year!<\/p>\n
