I Didn't Like the Green

 Hi everyone. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. After a grey wet week, it's cooled off and feels like September.  It definitely makes fantastic sleeping weather, but a sunny day would be really nice right now. ❤

Today I have a page to share for Chris' Where In The World challenge at Art Journal Journey  It's another page from my Iceland journal that I'm working on.

I made this page using some blue  and also some grid paper. I added a postcard I picked up in Iceland, as well as the little paper envelope that a hotel passkey came in. I cut out the map of Iceland from a brochure, and also used some of the words from another travel brochure on my page. I stamped the directional compass, drew in the arrows and added the little plastic gemstone dots on the map and on other places around my page. The little welcome elf was cut out of a playing card, and I used a few sticker letters on my page also. 

I really like the little elf though. He makes me smile so I am going to link this page up to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.

The little plastic dots show approximate places of where our hotels were. This time I also wrote them down since I found it very hard to remember place names in the Icelandic language.

You might also wonder why my title is I Didn't Like the Green. Here's the page as I originally finished it.

The map of Iceland in the brochure was green. It works, so I glued it down and finished it off. I also finished my page. Only I kept going back to my page because there was something that was bugging me about it.

It took me several days to realize it was the green map. OK, that was an easy fix. I pulled off the hotel marker dots, and then I used a red paint pen to color in the map. Once that was done, I finished off the map as it had been finished before. 

Now I like my page. I'm sure many of you will think the green was just fine and you would have left it. Who worries over such small details?

I guess that's me. 😌

And before I sign off, here's another page from my Iceland journal. I saved the wrappers on some candy I tried while traveling. That's one of the fun things about traveling, not only trying new foods but also checking out the junk food. Grin.  Not only was this type of candy a new treat for me, but it seemed to be  very popular  as I saw it in many stores.

I also wish I had a few bags of it at home as a special treat. I did bring home a bag, but that is  now sadly long gone. 

That's all from me today. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
