Meet the Designer<\/h2>\n

\"profilepic\"For over 15 years, Carrie has worked for CM as a Graphic Designer, Product Illustrator and currently as the Design Manager. Throughout the\u00a0<\/span>years,\u00a0she has honed and mastered her artistic skills, creating original works of art for scrapbooking fanatics worldwide. Her absolute favorite part of the job is being able to draw, draw and draw some more. Occasionally, she gets to create catalogs, website materials, flyers, logos, etc., but her true passion is creating products that will help become a part of something much more meaningful (scrapbooks).\u00a0When Carrie is not creating art, you can find her in the kitchen whipping up a gluten-free meal, running on the treadmill, reading or chauffeuring her two beautiful children around to their abundant extra-curricular activities.<\/span><\/p>\n
