Wrapping Up June at AJJ

 Hi everyone. I hope you're having a nice week. Mine has been busy with appointments, a couple of shortened work mornings because of heavy rains and thunderstorms, as well as  a few things I was trying to accomplish.

As today is the second to last day of June, I want to share my last page for Matilde's All About Numbers challenge at Art Journal Journey. You still have one more day to join us of you're interested.

I'd forgotten that I had paper rollers that texturize paper when it is rolled though. These tools are some of the first tools I bought back when I started scrapbooking in the 1990's, and basically they are small rollers with texture. You take a strip of paper,turn the side handle to roll it through and end up with a textured strip. I have 3-one that does circles, one that does lines and one with stars. I thought I had a heart one too, but who knows what happened to that.

One day I out of the blue remembered those tools, so I dug them out and textured some cardstock. I then used strips of that paper to create some of my background.

On the parts where there was no textured cardstock I used some very old rub-on numbers. After that I used some inks and some blobs of bright watercolors to finish off my background.

It was then time for something horizontal (the washi tape), some TH people, a TH quote, and finally a couple of Art by Marlene punch out images. I used a white pen on the bunting to add some contrast to it. 

**And I definitely want to say THANK YOU to Matilde for hosting and I also want to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined in at AJJ .**  Numbers was a really fun challenge.

I am also linking up to Rain's  Art and Dinner Date , even if I'm not on topic this week.

And yesterday I promised a few more photos from Iceland. Here they are for those who are interested. We're now on the far eastern side of the island, still along the south shore.

Here's another of those one way bridges that I wrote about yesterday. This one was scary as it was long, and because  it was foggy, we couldn't clearly see the other end of it. Luckily no one was coming the other way (which would have meant someone would have had to back up). 

We have now arrived at the popular spot called Jokulsarlon, the iceberg lagoon. These icebergs in the fog are interesting.

This is a popular place, and it was very crowded. They even have an overflow parking lot here. One thing you can do  is take an iceberg boat tour. We did an iceberg boat tour (as you might remember from an earlier post), but not here. There is a less crazy place about 15 minutes away. The big difference between the 2 is that where we went is on an iceberg lake, and these photos are taken at an iceberg ocean cove.

Here's some photos from where we took our iceberg tour. It wasn't foggy where we were, and there were only 20 people instead of the big crowds.

These first few are from the zodiac boat, and I have yet to do anything to them.

Here's the hubby and I at the head of the glacier. Our captain took this photo.

Just to give you a scale of things, you can see the next boat group walking down to the glacier lake.

And even though some of these icebergs don't look that large, don't be fooled. I'm not sure of their exact height, but they towered over us in our zodiac boat. And remember, only about 1/3 of an iceberg is above the water. 

That's all for me today.
