About Me
I'm a 65 year old living in Toronto Canada. I started paper scrapping in the 1990s & switched to digital in the early 2000s.
I've been happily married for 35 years with 2 adult children. We have a married adult daughter & a late son. (He had multiple severe disabilities - nonverbal autism, severe intellectual disability, atypical bipolar disorder, epilepsy and was a XYY male. We lost him 5 years ago at age 25 to SUDEP - Sudden Death in EPilepsy). I consider him my greatest teacher. Graham's photo and memorial page are here: https://www.autismbrainnet.org/donor/graham-brown/ (The same photo and tribute are also on the North American SUDEP Registry Our Stories page which he shares with others. Graham's donation was a joint donation to both sets of researchers.)
I'm retired but originally a children's librarian (public library) and then a supply (substitute) teacher. My favourite classes to teach were kindergarten, grades 1-2, middle school and especially special education. I particularly liked teaching students with autism or intellectual disabilities or adhd or learning disabilities or who needed behavioural support.
My hobbies (other than digital scrapping and photography) are knitting, board gaming, reading, journaling especially bullet journals, fountain pens,listening to a wide variety of music, classic movies and foreign language films and cooking (low carb/keto now since it controls my Type 2 diabetes.) I have a big interest in history, geography and different cultures and read a lot in these areas. I mostly read nonfiction but I do enjoy science fiction and fantasy. My husband and I share our home with 3 rescue kitties.
I consider myself a beginner with scrapbook design and I am enjoying learning.

Description
By request, I've designed 3 elements for the country of Czech Republic or Czechia.(The others will be uploaded in several days). Czechia is the short form that they prefer, the Czech Republic is the formal name. Since many English speakers haven't heard this name, I've done a country crest with 2 the forms. Ironically English speakers don't call Slovakia by its formal name, the Slovak Republic.(Czechia is formerly part of Czechoslavakia).
(For those who'd like to see all my designs including other travel crests and brads, my designs are here: https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/anne-maclellan/designs ).
These elements are a flair/brad featuring the flag, a crest for the country with the 2 names and a crest for the capital, Prague. (For those who'd like to see all my designs including other travel crests and brads, my designs are here: https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/anne-maclellan/designs ).
This flag belonged to the former country of Czechoslavakia (Slovakia created its own flag.). It was based on the flag of Bohemia and the traingle was added to avoid confusion with Poland's flag. It was banned during the Nazi occupation and was restored in 1945 at the end of World War II.
