Springtime Updates from Linda Ann
Are you experiencing springtime excitement, too? I worked out in my cottage studio on Monday, hoping to highlight finished tasks in my planner, only to admit it will take more than a day to get caught up!
The good news is that I have a list to follow:
- Stamping' Up! posted the latest catalog online for demonstrators; therefore, I have been busy updating my storage. I can't wait to show you the latest stamps, dies, DSP, and the newest In-Colors that go live in May, in addtion to the Online Exclusives.
- Stamp-n-Storage has a week of sales. Yippee! I ordered my much needed plastic sleeves and magnets. I love their quality wooden paper and punch holders. See Shopping links here.
- I decided to move my hi-low desk in front of the window to create a U-shaped design. What is your favorite desk shape?
- During the move, I destashed a few products that will be listed on eBay within a month.
- Did I tell you that I love to organize? I think it's the challenge of finding a place for everything, when a person has years and years of hobby supplies. Look for my latest ideas for storing supplies. I am very pleased with the outcome of my newest purchases. Today's blog post is all about 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.

In my 2025 organization blog tips, I introduced ToteScan to my readers. It's a QR Code that has helped me with my quilting projects. Now, starting in March of 2026, my goal is to finish UFOs (unfinished objects).
I have a good start on Memory Making Stampin' Up! kits, and after joining Craft Some Joy's POPs and Monthly Meetups by Lauren Hines. She doesn't sponsor this "shout out" - I tend to accomplish much with her techniques.
Then there's the chart for following unfinished quilting projects with The Fabric Patch in Ironwood, MI. The end of March is coming soon. YIKES! I only have a few days to complete a seasonal stitchery. I will share it with you when I finish. Have you ever joined a UFO group? It's an excellent way to complete projects you have been putting off.
I can hear USPS at my door. My Stampin' Up! order has arrived! What fun.
Take care,
Linda Ann

Creative Storage Solutions for Your 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Collection
I prefer to keep my current and retired products separated. My Six-inch square DSP is organized in a Stamp-n-Storage Paper Holder. Each slot holds one paper collection and a sleeve. The Paper Sleeves are purchased separately; I use the sleeves to hold scraps of DSP.
Tips on Storing the Retired DSP
Notice how the Paper Sleeve fits inside the clear envelope!

- Labels that I have purchased because they remove easily from the vinyl tabs: 9mm black print on clear and 9mm laminated black print on white
