Paper desk caddy

 A desk caddy I made from cardstock and pp, following Keren Skubach's great totorial - Part 1 and Part 2. 

It was so much fun, and easy to make, that I will defintely make another one preety soon (and maybe, just maybe, more than one..).

It helps keeping my most needed tools just handy and ready to use. It has a pocket for memo notes, small 'shelves' for all those small items that get lost in big pockets, lots of room for sccisors, pens, scoring tools, etc., and even one pannel of cork to pin notes.

Here're some more photos:

A birthday gift set plus a birthday card

Happy Sunday dear crafty friends!

I made a gift set for a friend at work, and since she'll get in later than her birthday, I added a 'Happy (belated) Birthday' card.

I made the desk organizer following Keren Skubach's tutorial, which you can find HERE. I used very heavy whieght cardstock and Parparart's papers do decorate it.

This is how it looks when closed:

And open:

The photo frame holder was made also following Keren's tutorial which you can find HERE. 

This is how it looks when closed, whith a belly band to hold it:

And open:

I also included another photo (not seen), in the inner pocket.

And the birthday card:

I submit it to the current challenge at AAA Birthday cards, which is 3D:

And the full set once again:

A desk organizer and a 'Good Luck' card

A good friend of mine just passed the Bar Exam and started working as a lawyer, so I made her a desk organizer, full of bright colors and flowers.

It has 4 different boxes, 3 sqaures and one rectangle, and they all sit on a tray.

This desk organizer was made using a score board and a bone folder. The hard work was planning the measerments...
I would like to enter it to the 'Anything goes' challenge at 'More Than One Score at Scor-Pal blog.
I also made her a 'Good Luck' card:

A DIY masculine desk organizer

Happy Saturday crafty friends,

I'm sharing a DIY masculine desk organizer I've made from scratch.

I builed it from a very heavy dark brown cardstock, coverd with pp from Conquest of Paradise collection by Galeria Papieru. 

Since it was a gift for a male co-worker, I decorated it with geers dies (Tim Holtz Sizzix and Memory Box). I coverd some of the gears die cuts with Lindy's Gang sprays and embossing powders, and so was the 'with love' die cut.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

I also made a small memo papers box, and here's the whole set, with the card attached, already on my friend's desk:

(yes, I couldn't resist adding another small geer to the organizer... LOL)
