I'm slowing working on my Christmas cards and now that I decided the main design, it's the little things. Do I just put the die cut over the paper weaving or inset it into the die cut. I know it's hard to see in the photo but the inset one does look a little better. Only my card making buddies would see the difference. :). I do plan to add a banner sentiment over the front but haven't gotten there yet. Still thinking maybe I'll get halloween cards out, that's a really big maybe!!!
Now that I have more space and can leave things out (I go over to Mees's house to babysit) so my place is a hot mess! If I only have a few minutes to do something I can if I have the energy after work. I do work much better when I can binge watch/listen to something interesting but with the pandemic there isn't much I haven't already gone through. Always in search of something!
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
