My first attempt....Failure?

So I found lots of ideas for command centers on Pinterest. These bloggers are geniuses. I wanted to make mine as cheaply as possible and I think you can tell

3 frame= .49 at Salvation Army
3 pieces scrapbook paper=.49 each at Joanns
1 pack sticker=1.00
1 roll of ribbon=1.00
Total=4.00

Proceed to laugh.
