We all know & love the shimmery delights they create!!
Lindy's luscious lustre is all uniquely two-toned!
With vibrant shimmery sprays, flat sprays, vintage sprays,
embossing powder & lots more!
Lindy’s Stamp Gang is the creative” baby” of Lindy Plakinger.
She passed away in 2008 after bravely battling illness.
She was a self-made cartoonist, loved drawing, crafting,
designing new products, and creating her funny cartoon characters!
One of her greatest joys was traveling to stamping & scrapbooking
conventions across the US, demo-ing to her heart’s content
with her sister & giggle partner, Vicki!
Lindy’s Stamp Gang will continue, as was her hope & dream.
Her husband & daughter have taken over the company,
keeping her creativity alive. Tracey, (her daughter), has always
been a “jar filler” in the background of Lindy’s Stamp Gang,
but is now trying to fill some incredible shoes!
$100 worth of Luscious Lindy's Lustre PLUS FREE POSTAGE!
It's incredible I agree!!
Guest Judging for us on behalf of LSG!
I am a Mixed Media artist, a mom to 2 beautiful daughters & have a husband
that is beyond supportive of my passion & my work. I am an Educator for several
manufacturers in both the Crafting & Arts industry - such as Faber Castell
Design Memory Craft, Lindy’s Stamp Gang, Prima Marketing Inc & FabScraps.
My classes are primarily focused on discovery of mediums & techniques both
in the Mixed Media world & Scrapbooking/Crafting. I am a technique Junkie
which always takes me to a road of discovery myself, which in turn I provide to
my students. My passion is teaching but more importantly it is my mission in
live to enliven others & allow them to discover their hidden talents.
I love watching my students find their new self expression in a piece of art
especially when at the beginning they feel constrained. I have the privilege
to travel around the world to share my passion!

Flying Unicorn - an online
store for us artists with a brick and mortar showroom
in South Florida.
I am a single mom with one child – maybe he is not a
child anymore at
the age of 17 – but still the child!
I found a passion
for scrapbooking in 2008 & went crazy with all the stickers
that were
available to enhance a page & never looked back! I would say my
style has
grown into shabby chic with a vintage flair, with lots & lots of flowers
& pink of course!
I enjoy creating layouts, card, tags, altered and mini albums –
I am not set in what
to create as long as I create. Scrapbooking is a passion
that is required
