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
I have designed 3 items for the country of France: a blue paper with a Fleur de lis pattern and 2 crests - 1 for France using the flag and one for Paris with its most famous landmark, the Eiffel Tower.
(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 ).
Personally, I've only seen a small part of France so far (Strasburg in Alsace) and Paris is on my "bucket list". (I've changed planes in Paris but don't count going through the airport as actually seeing Paris.)
The paper uses a traditional fleur de lis which is a stylized lily. It was associated with the French monarchy and nobility and still appears on many French coats of arms. Canadians will recognize that it is also associated with Quebec and appears on their flag.
