...Goodly Morning Stampers! Thank you to everyone who joined in with the challenge last week... it was lovely to see some more new faces too :O)) Straight on with this weeks theme... *using a Beatles song title...again...* The new theme this week is... SECRETS. To join in, all you need to do is make a piece of art, add in some stamping and the theme and then once you have blogged it, leave a comment for me here with a linky to the place you are showing your art. I will then hop on over for a nosey. The challenge will be open til 21:00 Saturday September 4th '10.
For my entry this week I have made a little book using tags, Distress Inks and a variety of stamps... including Catslife Press, Stamp Francisco, Green Pepper Press, Lost Coat Designs,Innovative Stamp Creations, Rivercity Rubber Works and... only ONE Tim Holtz stamp!!!*which isn't in these pics.. LOL* I know, it was hard - but I managed to leave those Tim and Wendy stamps alone... well, apart from the one but I think I can be let off that LOL
My book is a book of hidden things... so there are envelopes to open, little lift up flaps and pully outy bits. I have 20 pics of it all told so I will do a few now and then a few later on otherwise this will be a mammoth post!
I have to say... I used to make little books like this all the time... inspired by a class I did with Dan... all these little secret compartments are totally his idea... I used to make one of these Bind It All books at least once a week... I only have one of them left... all the others have been given away ... so it was a real challenge to get my Mojo going on the "not" Tim direction.
I admit, I have been lazy since I moved into the new Room of Stash... and not used any of these stamps cos my Tim and Wendy stamps are right close to me... I did enjoy making this... but... I think it is missing something... I will, no doubt, go back to it and add some ephemera and Idea-ology... and nope, not a single splotch of Trad Tan either!!!
Anyways... I shalln't sit and bore you with my waffling... if you would like to join in with the challenge, I would love to see your take on it... you could add secret compartments and things to your art... or make it about a secret... or even use question marks over something... that turns it into a secret doesn't it??? Well, in my head it does anyways LOL
Thanks for looking and have a fabby day... what have you got planned??? I am hoping to be a right lazy moo and lay in bed til about 10am ... then I am going to be a right lazy moo and read my book in the morning... then I will get dressed... don't you think that there is something a bit decadent about sitting about in your pyjama's when you should be dressed... and you ain't poorly so there is no excuse??? Mmm, just me then! ROFL Then I have a nice roast lamb dinner planned for the Sunday roast... and then I think I may just have a little snoozle on the sofa... ah, a day of lazying about... perfect! TTFN

Awesome book, Hels! This will be a little more difficult, I think! And you're so right, I have all the Tim and Wendy stamps right next to my chair, so why get up and go get the others???? lol!

great stamping, so many cool things to see!
Lazy? I think not!
Love this little book - lots of work gone into that. Now I need to think about this. Difficult theme I am thinking without doing what you've done..... I may be gone some time!!
Oh I love it! Love the stamps you have used, what brand are the people stamps?
*hugs* Heather x
Wow wonderful Tag book.
Absolutely beautiful. Love it.
'He was away often, I like that in a man' - now that's the best quote ever!!
Enjoy your roast dinner, I'm off to a Copics club.
Luv Joanne xx
Love it!!! That's such a cool piece. Question for you, the TOP SECRET on the cover what did you stamp that with? Is that an alphabet set or just the one stamp? For a moment I was considering googling all the stamp manufacturers you mentioned there and then I thought it could take all day so I better ask!!!
Hope to be joining in this week, have an inky sunday!

This book is awesome, Hels, I love it....although I have had to pick myself up of the floor at no Trad Tan!!! Sounds like you have a perfect day planned.. enjoy x
Great creation Hels and some nice stamps in there, you should use them more often LOL. I have loads in the back of the cupboard that I need to get out and use again. Enjoy your lazy day, I will try and play along soon, just in the middle of decorating my daughter's room, oh joy! Tracy Evans x
LOVELY, and yes it can be a challenge not to reach for your favourite stamps can't it? Gotta be good for us to get out of the comfort zone occasionally?
Hi Hels. I'm a newbie to Sunday Stampers, but just love your book, it's so imaginative. I will now try and put in the link to my little bit of art. Hope it works.
