Personal Blog

Challenge Coordinator

I love just living a few blocks from the gorgeous shores of

Lake Michigan, in the small town of Algoma, WI.  I'm a 

retired Paramedic and enjoy the free time. I've been

married to my best friend, Greg, for 50 yrs in 2022. I have 

two adult daughters that are awesome young women, 

and now a Gamma to LJ, 7/2019. Stamping has been a huge part of 

my life for 20 yrs or so. One hobby I've managed to stick with. lol. Most 

important to me is the fact that I am a child of God and saved 

by grace through Christ Jesus. Life is a gift! Eternal life a BLESSING!

Bonnie Ratzloff - Team A

I've been married to my husband for 29+ years, and a mother of

2 children. I am also known as the "crazy cat lady" on our street. 

My love of lighthouses began when my mom used to take my brother

and I to the beach by the Pacific Grove lighthouses and has continued

after she lost her battle to breast cancer. My love of stamping and 

coloring is a release from the stresses of life, including my battle with

chronic migraines and chronic pain, but also a continuation of all my

mother taught me about painting, water coloring and crafting. I was

blessed to have a loving and talented mother growing up and I'm 

blessed to have a talent that I can use to bless others with a

smile, a hug or just to say thanks.

Helen Nile - Team A

I've been a card maker for many years and love stamps, digi stamps,

pretty papers and my Promarkers. I love sharing my cards and learning

from other people. I work full time as an Activities Coordinator in a care

home so during the week you're likely to find me singing, dancing,

hosting quizzes, crafting and lots of other things!

Karen Finkle - Team B

My name is Karen Finkle and I'm an independent demonstrator

for Stampin'Up!. I retired to FL in 2000 after living in the Adirondacks 

(New York state) all my life. I was introduced to stamping in 2012 but

the bug didn't bite me until we had to stop RVing in 2015. My daughter and

son-in-love recently moved to eastern TN and I hope to move there

next year(2023). I have two adult grandchildren, one lives in 

Manhattan (the actor) and the other in the Adirondacks (the artist). 

My husband and son were avid supporters of my passion and I know 

they would both be proud of my growth as a stamper over the past few years.

My son's cat, Chester, is now my support and is as much a part of

me as is pattern paper, cardstock, ink and everything else that

goes along with cardmaking. I have made an appearance as a 

guest designer on several challenge sites over the years and now

I am a part of the design team at Pammie's Inky Pinkies. It 

is quite an honor and I look forward to a new adventure in stamping!

Let's get inky, shall we?!

Terri Winske- Hermsen - Team A & B (optional)

A little about me:

I was fortunate enough to have 2 grandmothers who taught me to crochet 

and embroider when I was a little girl, and my Mom sewed our Barbie doll 

clothes. I've been around "crafts" pretty much all my life and love paper 

crafts the most. I've been making cards for about 15 years and truly enjoy 

the friendships I've made and the fun I've had doing so. I look forward 

to learning new techniques and sharing them with anyone who 

will listen! I'm looking forward to working with all of you!

Tracie Clary - Team B

I have been paper crafting for about 10 years and I love all the wonderful

people I have met in those 10 years. I have always loved different crafts such

a quilting, painting, knitting, crocheting, etc. I think I have tried it all. I am 

so lucky to be able to share my love of this art with wonderful family and 

friends. To me, friendship is what this hobby means to me. Paper crafters 

are always such happy people. I love being part of this hobby.

Vickie Yeakley - Team B

My name is Vickie Yeakley. I live in a small town in Indiana. I'm married 

and together my husband and I have 4 grown, out on their own children! 

Our children have blessed us with 9 grandchildren! I am retired from the 

public school sector, having worked as a grant administrator for a 

cooperative of eleven school corporations. I'm a very eclectic crafter! I

love paper crafting using all types of styles and techniques from whimsical

to shabby chic to anything but a card to altered art and creating with all 

types of media. My crafting goal is to learn from other with the end result,

hopefully, providing inspiration to other crafters with the cards and 

projects that I create. Paper crafting for me is a FUN, creative outlet

and I enjoy spreading the FUN!!
