My New Desktop Sorter!

Well, we were reorganizing our office at work to make room for a temp who will be here for about eight weeks. One of the things we "got rid of" was a gnarly old metal desktop sorter thingie. It was scratched, rusty, and, well, gnarly. I kind of loved it as is, but I saw some potential in it to be pretty, too.

So, here it is... in UC colors (blue and ORANGE). There's some pink on it, too, but it's mostly blue & orange.

My goal is to get people to use the orange section as an inbox... hence the big huge honking "IN" with arrows.

Products used:
Bazzill cardstock
Chatterbox paper
Tim Holtz/Distress ink - black soot
Heidi Swapp ghost frame
Basic Grey chipboard letters
Chipboard arrows... ????
Ranger spray ink (on chipboard)
Glossy Accents (on chipboard)
Matte Accents
Rhonna Farrer flourish stamps
Staples
Grosgrain Ribbon
Elmer's spray adhesive

I used Matte Accents and glue dots to adhere the chipboard letters. The spray ink kind of warped them, so I had to also clamp them down while the glue dots "dried".
