The Great Toilet Paper Caper




Here's my son Aidan being a boy.... I have been dreaming about this layout for years. I'm glad to have finally gotten it done. I struggle with boy pages because I had my daughter first and am used to all things frilly. I'm looking forward to increasing my boy scrapbook skills. Share your tips?!

Supplies:
  • Ana Griffin Cuttlebug and Swiss dots folder
  • Cricut Cartridge - Create a Critter 2 list cut at 8" and Fontopia font 1.5" (shadow and font)
  • TPC Studios Clearly Better - Navy
  • Memories Direct long reach stapler, blue staples
  • Stampin' Up! patterned paper
  • American Crafts ribbon
  • Creative Memories corner rounder
  • Bazzill white cardstock
  • Leaps and Bounds Snips and Snails Vellum Phrases

  • Recollections floral embellishment
  • Blue Copic Multiliner
  • Pressed Petals Scrap Metal
  • Blue corner embellishments - stash

    1. Thanks Papercrafting Princess. I couldn't find any toilet paper on my Cricut carts so I used Santa's list. Glad it looked good enough to pass. (I was worried. Shhh! Don't tell anyone!) LOL

    1. Devra, I have no advice for you (except lock the door). My son is 4 now and he's still doing it....?!? He needs a lot of paper when he's doing his business in there. SMH!! Thanks for stopping by. You know you're gonna have to take some pictures and scrap a toilet paper caper LO of your own now... you've caught the bug... I know you have.
