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
Part of my Austria series (it includes an Austria Flag Flair / Brad, a general Austria Word Art Crest and a Word Art Crest for Vienna. (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 ).
After the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this flag was created. There are 2 versions, this is the state flag which is displayed by the government, the civil flag does not have the coat of arms on it and is just red stripes with a white stripe in the centre.
A double headed eagle was used as a symbol of the Habsburg royalty who ruled the Austro-Hungarian empire. The symbols in the coat of arms represent: the eagle for Austria's sovereignty, the shield with red & white stripes as an emblem of Austria, the crown for the middle class, the sickle for farmers, the hammer for the morking class, the broken chains for liberation from German occupation, added in 1945.
