Itty Bitties

Here are a couple of cards made with stamps from this set from Whipper Snapper Designs. I love all of the sweet images. What I didn't realize (but should have) was how small the images would be. While I don't normally consider trimming rubber on cling mount to be an issue, I'll have to admit that the itty bitty images in this set were a challenge. Next time, I'm going to opt for unmounted stamps and use repositionable tape to stick them on my blocks. My thoughts are that images so small most likely would not require a lot of cushion to produce a good image.

Working with images so small, I kept the cards simple. It would be easy for the images to get lost in a sea of patterned paper and "stuff." Oh, imagine the inside of the bunny's ears are pink. Looks like I forgot to color 'em.

As it turned out, my day was nothing like I'd planned. Shortly after posting this morning, I realized that I had a really sore throat and weird headache at the base of my skull, so I took a couple of aspirin and laid down. And ... I ended up sleeping until almost 5 o'clock! While I'm not thrilled about having "wasted" the day, if I slept six hours on top of a full night's sleep last night, I must have needed it, and I do feel better. I guess tomorrow will be a busy day! No worries. How's your weekend going? I hope it's good. Enjoy tomorrow, and as always, know that I appreciate you!
