My name is Carolyn Lontin. I am married to Rick; we have one son, Seth, and two crazy dogs! We live in gorgeous Colorado, in a suburb just south of Denver. Since 1994, I have been a Human Resource Director for a manufacturing company. I began scrapping in October 2001, to preserve my son's childhood memories and it quickly became an obsession! I love capturing my family's "real" moments in both my photos and my journaling. I have found the creative outlet of scrapping to be incredibly relaxing and quite addictive, which is shocking to the previously dominate non-artistic side of me! Over the past few years, I have had the honor of having my work published in several major publications. Drop by my blog for a visit: http://carolynlontin.blogspot.com.
