bambi

i cut up a vintage 1979 bambi grows up book. it was hard to do but i love how books were illustrated back then. the colors are still so bright & vibrant!
side note.........when i was little, maybe 5 or 6 years old, i remember getting busted big time from my dad for ordering some disney books from a book club. i had just learned that cards that were in magazines have postage free cards to send in for stuff. the one i chose was a disney book club. i was found out when the 1st book came in the mail WITH a bill. my parents were pretty mad!! long story short, this is when i 1st fell in love with these type of illustrations. (BTW, this offer came with free book ends)

Deja vu, Ivy! My sister and I ordered some Disney books and they were "free" but the catch was a new book would be sent every month! Talk about a mad Dad....

Love how you altered this, btw!

It would be hard for me to cut them up too. The colors are marvelous.
