She was a self-made cartoonist, loved drawing, crafting, designing new products, and creating her funny cartoon characters!

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.

"Hi I am Lizzy Crust and I have been scrapbooking since 2006, wow that is 10 years now! I enjoy the creative process of putting a layout together and love to use flowers, fussy cutting, dies, chipboard and some mixed media. I love online challenges and have made many friends by joining in with the many sites around. I have been on several design teams which has been a  good way to grow in my abilities. I have 4 children but only one at home now. Thank you Laura for my Guest Designer spot for Stuck!?, your sketches are amazing!"
