Oh Becky, I cannot thank you enough for the tip about white tape behind the stamp titles!!!! I was thinking I was doing something wrong because I could not read the titles OR the sentiments after putting them in the CD holder. I needed to copy the images of the stamp set off the PTI website just to be able to visually scan the sets. This should really help with the titles, but still need advice on the stored stamps themselves! Thank you, thank you! Love your work!!!

I try to keep organized and I try to keep my workspace tidy, especially after I finished a project. I found I have trouble going into my room when I know it’s a mess. An organized house (craftroome) is an organized mind. And I too love reading tips in how to organize supplies. I have ordered some PTI stamp sets and I’ll follow your idea on how to make the stampset names more clear to read.

Becky, I love your ideas! Imitation is the best flattry!
When I receive my PTI stamps, I do as you do, however, I the stick the stamp label directly onto the label sheets then cut them…they fit perfectly.
Another thing I do when I receive my stamps, I copy PTI’s stamp sheet to Word, print it and put it in a sheet pocket for protection, and place it in a loose leaf binder. Next to this page, I also print the PTI TIPs, AND a couple of the examples from PTI’s gallery featuring the stamp. This has given me many ideas and I can see exactly what stamp sets I will need!
Thank you for your ideas!

Becky!!!! I have been struggling with being able to read my PTI CD cases since they changed the labels from translucent to transparent and had not been able to figure out what to do with them!!! Yeah, I am about to IMITATE you!!! Thanks so much for sharing this idea! Now off to my studio to label away!

Thanks so much for the idea of the solid sticker strips for backing the labels, to see better. I so needed that tid bit of advice! My vision is not what it once was, so that really helped, Thanks!!
The one suggestion I have is I save all my little scrap pieces of paper. I then save what could easily be used for other projects, but have found even the onces I would have thrown out before, I can still get some of my most used labels or tabs punched out of. I keep those punches handy and just punch away and store those punched out pieces. I always have a stock of the most used punches on hand that way!

If I was there with you right now I would hug you! As much as I love my PTI stamp sets and their storage CDs I have never been able to read the labels on the spine. You have come up with a brilliant idea and I can’t wait to run downstairs to my craft room and try your tip. A million thanks for sharing this fabulous idea!

That was so interesting! You sound so much like me, but much wiser! Awesome ideas! Beautiful projects! TFS! My hardrive went bad on my computer(only 2 yrs old), and thank goodness my husband could replace it. But I lost everything!!!Including YOU saved in my favorires, and RSS feed! All MY Timeless Templates downloads-ALL MY Downloads, All My Favories, EVERYTHING!!! I’ve been really sick over it! I am SO Disorganized!!! So I relied greatly on being able to save things on my computer! I only wish I could have found the time to actually make or do more of the ideas,etc, prehaps then being more stored into MY memory or the actual project to look at! If anyone is like me, invest in a cheap ($15.00 and up) flash drive, and frequentlty
“back up” your pictures, downloads, everything! so prehaps all is not lost! Thanks for sharing! I feel better having gotten your email, and “favoriting” you once again!
