An epidemic

I am a member of Facebook group called Pootles. Pootles is Samantha Hammond Donald, a Stampin' Up" demonstrator. As well as successfully showcasing the Stampin' Up! products Sam is a pretty nifty crafty herself. Welcome the desk top pen holder. This was put together by Sam and posted on her blog, on YouTube and onto the Pootles group. Well whey hey did that creation hit the ground running or what?

The world and his wife had a go at making this desk tidy and it was no good, I was bit by this bug myself. Twice.

My first attempt used up some Hunkydory card I had laying around and this was the result:

I loved it although I did go a tad wrong with the middle box on the right. They are all meant to reinforced but I cut this too short to do the reinforcing !

My second attempt I used black cardstock and covered it in some designer paper. This epidemic definitely caused a rash.

Hoping my friend likes one for her craft table, that will solve the problem of having two.
If you want to know how to make this desk tidy take a look at Sam's blog here. It also shows the You Tube video if that is your preference
