Hiding an object in your layouts...

A long time ago I read about someone that hid an object in every one of their layouts. Then their kids could have fun looking for that object when they were looking through the scrapbook. Kind of a "Where's Waldo" kind of thing.

I have been thinking about that lately, and think it would be really fun! Does anyone here do that? I can't decide what kind of object would be the best. Any ideas?
 
I remember someone did a layout with tons of horses and had us all finding how many horses we could find... it was fun :)

Anything would do I think, first thing that came to mind was a lollypop (don't ask why)
 
A while back I put a heart on every layout... most of the time hidden a bit. But then I drifted away from doing that. :( I should have kept doing it!
 
A little heart was the first thing that came to mind for me as well... that's an awesome idea. Or a small stitched star or heart (easier to hide if the stitches are thin). Or your childs first initial? I love this idea! I'm going to start a Disney trip book and I think I might just hide a small Mickey on each page! :)
 
Oh my gosh, that sounds so cool! I like the heart idea or how about a butterfly. It could just be an outline of one. That's what came to mind when I first read your post.
 
I used to have a friend who put a little set of Mickey Mouse ears in every layout. She was a paper scrapper and just used a teeny little Mickey punch (about the size of a hole punch). I thought that was such a neat idea!
 
Ohh...I love the idea of a hidden Mickey on Disney pages...we're heading to Disneyland in April...I'm SOOOO doing that in my kids' albums for the trip!!
 
I forgot who it was, but someone purposely misspells something on every LO. One time I PMed her to let her know and she told me it was intentional lol.

Haha - to each their own, I suppose?

Hidden Mickey's is what came to my mind! Apparently it came to a few other people's minds too!!

A lot of artists put something of theirs "hidden" in paintings. Not that I can think of any examples right now but I have seen it/heard of it!
 
That is a wonderful idea. I like all the suggestions I'm seeing here. The first thing that came to my mind was a little 'kiss' like some cute lips or xoxox. I never sign a note, email, card or anything for my kids without putting a kiss or xoxox on it.
 
Thats such a cute idea! I wish i had thought of that before It would be kinda funny if i started that now because i already have some printed and wouldnt want to rescrap layouts they would be looking forever in those ones because there would be nothing in it haha
 
FUN ideas girls!! The hidden Mickey in Disney albums sound like fun!! Manda, can't wait to see the hidden taco!

I have heard of artists do this with their creations. Thomas Kinkaid does that- he paints his wife or daughter's initial into his paintings.

A heart, butterfly, or kiss sounds great for my pages since I have girls.... I'll have to keep thinking about what exactly!

WHAT a super cute idea!! I'm going to start working on an EOL album starting in January and it'd be fun to incorporate objects to find in it!

okay... let's just say that was me :p I know I misspell on everything, but it isn't on purpose!
 
That is such a great idea! I may give that a go seeing I have two DD's who love looking at my LO's, mainly because they are in all of them....lol! :thumbup:

I think I misspell something every time, even though I do proofread but I NEVER notice until I post it to the gallery! :D
