Warm-Up to Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper...Oh, My! - Challenge #1

I realized too late that the recycle challenge Jenn posted for us asked that we use a cereal or cracker box! I used toilet paper tubes, so I am counting this as a warm-up for the recycle challenge. I will be back tomorrow with the real deal!

This desk organizer was created with 3 recycled toilet paper tubes, scraps of designer paper, rhinestones, and ribbon!


Papers: green at heart and offbeat by BasicGrey, Rich Razzleberry by Stampin' Up
Stamps: Hey, Chick by Kitchen Sink Stamps
Ink: Rich Razzleberry by Stampin' Up
Embellishments: Rhinestones and Ribbon

    That is the BEST use of toilet tissue tubes I've ever seen! I just bought a new set of colored pencils. I'm lifting this idea. The colors you used are wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

    This is a clever use of toilet roll tubes. I love the mix of papers.

    On a different note, those glasses are really funky!
