Challenge #8...THE GAME is Hide n Seek

Hello, let's have some fun playing Hide-n-Seek!
You are challenged this week to create an ATC with a hidden element; pocket, slide-out, roll-out, folded etc.
Please feel free to ask questions if you are stuck. 

Before I go any further, I regretfully need to share some sad news.  Tori is no longer a member of our design team. She was having a difficult time dealing with some of the obstacles that were inherent of the job and her blindness...like not being able to see all of your work, and cast her votes. It was becoming frustrating for her, which made the crafting part become less fun, and more like work.  She didn't want to feel that way, I do not blame her. She will be missed.  She is also getting ready to leave the blogging world, so if you'd like to send her a message, do it quickly on her blog, or message her at FB.


OK, without further adieu...this week's challenge as demonstrated by our DT!!!
(remember, you can use anything to create your ATC)

I'll only be sharing 1-2 pictures from each DT's creations, for any more pictures, or instructions etc, please visit everyone's blogs...listed on the left. 

I'm going first as I want to share a "snafu" on my part. for some reason i jumped ahead and did the next challenge, when I realized that it was crunch time...I had made a set of hidden ATCs a few months back for a swap, but I didn't share them on my blog (I don't think) so the girls agreed for me to go ahead and use it for this challenge. 

 My entire ATC is a pocket, I apologize for the awful lighting
 Susan 

 a small pocket on the front
  Anita

June ~ her "hiding" is that the angel is a pin. This is a gift, so the pin is the hidden surprise.

 Hinged by a large brad...so like two ATCs together, see her blog for the back side, also very pretty!
 Sara

 An ATC  canvas, with a front made for it, the whole thing is a door, hiding a skeleton on the inside.
 Chrislyn

 That looks like a door, wonder what is hidden behind it...oh, it's scared little Alice (from Wonderland)
Kapree



Now, go HIDE and while your hiding create a lovely ATC, with something extra....something hidden!
 There will be a winner and a runner-up chosen for each challenge. Both will receive a badge for their blog. 
The winner will receive a prize.   This Challenge has a Mystery prize!!

You have from today until September 7th(Friday) at midnight EST to enter our challenge with your ATC with something hidden creation!


All entrants must be 18 or older. No back linking please, use a creation that has not been shown on the internet by you before. You may also combine your creation with up to 14 other challenges. Please see our rules page.

get messy, have fun, and make a secret hiding spot...ssssshhhhhhhhh!
