I loooooove Fridays!
But, then, who doesn't love Fridays?
I have a give-away for anyone interested in the following challenge. The give-away is this lovely Hero Arts Clear Design set: Great Flourishes Messages (#CL278).
Look closely at the photos below. They are both pictures of the same binder that Gigi and I decorated to hold what she refers to as my "magic recipes" (various stamping, ink, etc techniques). Isn't she a cutie? (Gigi, btw, is the one who came up with this game of counting the stamps.)
The GAME is for you to determine the following:
1. All but one of the stamps is by Hero Arts. Identify the rogue stamp that isn't made by Hero Arts. (It's easy to describe.)
2. Identify the artist responsible for that rogue stamp image. (Not so easy - he's a man of letters, though!)
3. Tell me how many Hero Arts stamps were used on this puppy! (Do not count multiple stamps of the same stamped image - just the stamps themselves. Example: I've got a leaf stamp that I made three impressions with. Don't count that as three stamps because only one stamp is responsible for those images.)
4. Tell me how many images were created using masks (these are by Tim Holtz and they are the rather largish "negative" images you see). Hint: each letter counts as an individual image.
Leave your guesses here in a comment on this post, and I will randomly select a winner from the ten people who have the right (or closest to right) answers!
You have until 6:00 p.m. EST, on Sunday, April 19, 2009, to enter your guess.
If you want to decorate a naked binder with your kid, (or a friend or just by yourself) you can get one at Office Depot really cheap (I think it was $2.50 or something).
You can see a much larger image of these pictures here.
Happy guessing!
1. The one that stamp with white color is Not HA Stamp

2. Tim Holz

1. I don't recognize 2 stamps. the silhouette bust under the letters or what looks like a gypsy women (earrings and scarf tied to side perhaps) stamped at 8 o'clock.
2. Just not sure. Your hint is over my head this day.
3. I count 23 different stamps used
4. I count 18 images created using masks

Here goes....
1. The white clock on the bottom right. The other two white circles - wasn't sure what they were or where they were from, so I'll stay with the white clock, since you said all but one was HA.
2. Tim Holtz is the artists -- Tim Holtz Cling Mount Stamp Sheets from Stampers Anonymous at http://www.nonadesigns.com/thstamps.htm
3. The stamps were hard to count... I don't know if I counted twice or not enough, butttttt I'll say 22.
4. Ok, there's a hint that I'm not seeing... I don't think any were masked. Zero...

1. The Air Mail Stamp ??? I have lots of the Hero Arts travel and faux post stamps and don't remember seeing that one. My second guess would be the blue image stamped in the bottom right corner of the cover, although I can't exactly tell what it is...?
2. I'll guess Tim Holtz, only because I can't think of a different male stamp designer!
3. My best count is 23. That's a hard one!
4. 17 masked images.
What a challenge - thanks Deborah!
