Vintage Saturdays: Children's Book's Illustrations.

As a teacher in my real life, I am constantly surrounded by children's books.  While I think they are mostly all adorable, I am seriously in love with old children's book.  What to do with old books that are no longer usable in its traditional sense?  These artists have come up with wonderful ways of reusing the pages within (and even the covers) to create new and super cool treasures.

GormanStudios decoupages the images onto blocks 

to create unique children's toys and room decor:

StoriesDivinations uses reproductions of these images 

to create delightful cards for sending to others:
