LINDY'S STAMP GANG.  Lindy's luscious luster is all uniquely two-toned with vibrant shimmery sprays, flat sprays, vintage sprays, embossing powder and 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 and scrapbooking conventions across the United States demo-ing to her heart's content with her sister and giggle parnter, Viccki!  Lindy's Stamp Gang will continue, as was her hope and dream.  Her husband and 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!  For more Lindy's Stamp Gang please visit:

Here's my project for this challenge.  I used a couple of shaped paper clips, staples, and tags and lots of Crafty Secret ephemera images.  This is a tag booklet that I learned from Paula Cheney at One Lucky Day on Pinterest.
