But I can't find a post about it anywhere, so I guess I imagined it? Anyway, I do love reading children's books... I finally turned the photo into a page for my I Have To Confess album:
I used pages from an old copy of Alice in Wonderland for the title, border, flower and leaves, crumpling each piece before die-cutting or punching or rolling or hand-cutting it. The library card was a free printable from Shimelle and the pocket from a free template by Creature Comforts. I plan to add the names of some of my favourite kid's authors to the library card next time I get my typewriter out!
I kind of wish I'd used some distress ink or something so the book pages stand out a bit more, but oh well...

What a wonderful collection - and idea for a page! Love it :)
Yay! Finally finished!
I love kiddies books as well, especially Enid Blyton, I've read loads of her books, famous five, secret seven, naughtiest girl, Pip, I could go on & on.
Love the flower!
Oh, I love this page, Mel. I really love the little flower and have GOT to make one of those myself sometime SOON!
I can certainly join you in that confession! I love so many kids books!
Lovely layout!
Me too... I just finished reading Tom's Midnight Garden, Little Women, Jack and Jill (by Lousia May Alcott as well), Pollyanna... now I'm reading Anne of Avonlea.
Some of the best books ever written are children's books; but almost every great children's book has so much in it for adults too.
Great page!
You can officially add my name to your confession because I am a die hard childrens books fan. I think I need to make this page too, so thanks for the inspiration.
