ABOUT US

The love of scrapbooking is how Judy Beeksma and Sheri East got together.

Judy has been scrapbooking for 10 years. She began scrapbooking when her Mother presented her with the family photos. After finishing the family album 
for her Mom, Judy continued to create beautiful albums for her own family.
Her passion for scrapbooking soon turned into her part time career. 
She began teaching at local scrapbooking stores, day and weekend events 
as well as, becoming a design team member for Go Scrapping and The Scrapping Bug in Kitchener, Ontario. Judy would describe her style as classic and linear. She loves clean lines and good design. She loves the challenge of working with different products and mediums and above all, trying the latest techniques. Judy could not pursue her passion and this new venture without the love and support of her husband Richard, and her two sons Simon and Jared.

Sheri has been in the scrapbooking industry for 10 years. She started her scrapbooking career as an instructor using her fine arts and graphic design skills teaching many ladies and some gentlemen the art of preserving memories in a creative way. Sheri went on to own her own scrapbooking store but found out very quickly that she preferred being the creative one which was hard to nurture when running a business. After closing her store, she continued teaching and working at The Scrapping Bug in Kitchener, Ontario, creating layouts for manufacturers in Canada, the United States and Japan and demonstrating for Fiskars Canada. Sheri has also been a part of Go Scrapping, teaching classes at day and weekend events as well as, she has been published in popular scrapbooking and craft magazines. In A Pinch Designs is yet another step in Sheri's exciting scrap booking journey. Of course, Sheri couldn't do all this without the loving support of her husband Darren, her son Jayden and her happy little dog Sashi.

Both Judy and Sheri are thrilled to bring you In A Pinch Designs with the hope to provide inspiration through design, technique and colour.
