hiding" not always connote "lying" because the both are derived from two different words, "hide" and "lie". Similarly, the meaning of the two words are also different, "hiding" have meaningful "do" - cover up something that has not been known by many people, while "lying" have meaningful "do" - cover up something that is already well known by many people or that have been foreseeable by the person who will be lied

Lying involves deliberately stating something untrue with the intent to deceive, while embellishment involves adding extra details or exaggerating certain aspects of the truth to make a story more interesting. Lying is inherently deceptive and unethical, while embellishment may not always be done with malicious intent.

How do you make a fold embellishment in a scrapbook if the pages are covered in plastic and you can't interact with folding pieces?
