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 4 elements for the country of New Zealand: a flag flair/brad. a crest for the entire country, a crest for Wellington and a crest for Auckland.
(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 ).
The crest for New Zealand features Aoraki Mount Cook. It is the highest mountain in New Zealand and is 3,724 metres (12,218 feet). New Zealand is a country consisting of 2 large islands and about 600 small islands in the south Pacific. It was the last large habitable landmass to be settled by humans. It's estimated that Polynesians came to New Zealand in the late 11th and early 12th century and developed into the Maori culture. In 1841, New Zealand became a British colony. It became fully independent in 1947. New Zealand is a parliamentary democracy with a prime minister. The queen is the symbolic head of state and is represented by a governor general. The Realm of New Zealand also includes Tokelau (a dependent territory); the Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing states in free association with New Zealand); and the Ross Dependency, which is New Zealand's territorial claim in Antarctica.
