This was the magnet message board I did for my class at Memories Live On yesterday. It's a quick and simple project to do. The best part is that it only takes one sheet of 12X12 page. I know many scrapbookers get an extra sheet just in case and end up with a lot of orphan paper. This project is a great way to use up your stash. The magnet clip and note pad are easy to find at you office supply store. Make sure to get the big clip holder with a big magnet, the little ones don't work. If you want holes in the top of the clip for ribbon, use your Crop-a-dile. Have no fear I did it with damaged to my tool. Have to thank Louise for sharing this idea at our Cornflakes (card making group) last month.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
