Cute as a button

I have my morning tea while I read my favorite blogs. I always read Susan's blogs (she has more than one) "Simplicity" (see my blog roll) to see what cool CAS cards she has for everyone. I think it was last week she posted cards using buttons. It inspired me to use up some of my button stash. Back in the day, buttons were all the rage in scrapbooking. Really how many can you use a layout? Since I'm working really hard to use what I have, I made several of these cards (pink, blue and yellow) for my card racks. Super simple and great way to use up your scraps.

What's with the blog name?

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.
