Toilet Paper Scrapbook embellishments using a Sizzix Big Shot

If you are a scrapbooker/crafter you have probably heard of the Sizzix Big shot series. If you haven't, it is basically a machine that embosses and cuts out shapes using metal dies and plates

I don't own one ( I have a mini version) but my mother does and she is forever making the coolest little embellishments using a wide variety of household paper.

Can you guess what kind of paper she used this week?

Yep! Toilet paper.   Everything in this photo was made with TP  The square was made with embossing plates and the cats are made with metal dies.
