Winter was a season of reading the Harry Potter series so the kids dressed up as Hermoine & Harry for Book Day at school. I still have a ton of this Once Upon A Time collection and it was perfect. If I do say so myself! Sure wish I could capture all the glittery goodness.

I agree with Debi - the kids are adorable and that paper (which I also still have plenty of) is perfect. Great pages, Pam.

WOW! Pam these are just amazing LOs. How fun for those adorable kids. That paper is gorgeous but I am thinking that some of your beautiful clusters look hand made rather than stickers? Gorgeous!

That's Once Upon a Time by DCWV. I still see it in stores and I feel like I bought it about 10 years ago. Thought about posting in Pam P's challenge to use oldest products but it's not my oldest.
Stamps are by Ali Edwards.
Sure miss LucyG.

I did make some of the embellishments.

They celebrated International Book Day in Australia as well. All the kids dress up like their favorite book character. It's a big,big deal. I'm not sure if they do the same in the U.K. and/or Canada? They don't do Halloween but there's an Arabic holiday where the kids give candies to each other and some kids go from house to house asking for candies. Drawing a blank.

Canada celebrates Canada Book Day, which coincides with World Book Day. Next year it's April 23rd. I've not heard of the kids' school doing anything specific for it; maybe they do with the younger kids though.

Here's some interesting info about World book day from wikipedia:

World Book Day[1] or World Book and Copyright Day (also known as International Day of the Book or World Book Days) is a yearly event on April 23rd, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), to promote reading, publishing and copyright. In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. World Book Day was celebrated for the first time on 23 April 1995.


The connection between 23 April and books was first made in 1923 by booksellers in Catalonia, Spain[Book 1] The original idea was of the Valencian writer Vicente Clavel Andrés as a way to honour the author Miguel de Cervantes, first on October 7, his birth date, then on April 23, his death date. In 1995 UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on 23 April, as the date is also the anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, as well as that of the birth or death of several other prominent authors.[2] (In a historical coincidence, Shakespeare and Cervantes died on the same date — 23 April 1616 — but not on the same day, as at the time, Spain used the Gregorian calendar and England used the Julian calendar; Cervantes actually died 10 days before Shakespeare died.)

Adorable layouts Pam! And I too have seen that paper slab before and have, up to this point, resisted. :lol:
