Magical Crafts DT sample Challenge 17 - For a Male/Father's Day

It's time for another Magical Crafts challenge today. The theme is Something for a Male/Father's Day and I've chosen to make a desk caddy to give to my dad as he spend lots of time at his desk at home doing crosswords and quizzes. I found a fab tutorial here to make the caddy itself. The Magical Crafts DT team were given some lovely digi items from Stitchy Bear Stamps to include on their projects and I chose to use some fab blue papers by Crafty Chaos Designs available from Stitchy Bear Stamps (only $2 for 6 designs!). So onto my project...

Items I have made/altered and popped into the caddy: jumbo paperclip bookmark, card bookmark, coaster post-it note holder, paperclips in perspex pot (recycled a pot that had brads in it), magnetic peg, notebook (covered a 15p Asda notepad), Tic Tacs with a card wrapper, Juicy Fruit chewing gum (my dad loves this stuff!), pen...

The finished caddy...

Hope you will come and join us with this fabby challenge! Please do pop over to the Magical Crafts blog and have a browse of the DT creations. There is a prize of some digi image and papers from Stitchy Bear Stamps for one lucky crafter!
I would like to enter this caddy into the following challenge:
