Another card for my Graphic 45 meets Crafty Secrets card class. The hardest part about working with Graphic 45 paper is I love both sides so it's always a dilemma which one not to use. It's cherry season here at our house so of course the cherry side of the paper won out. The little tag pulls out of the pocket behind the little boy. You can't tell, but it is a full size A2 card. The theme of the class is quick and simple for those who like to make cards on the fly.
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
