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've designed 2 elements for the country of Iceland - a flag flair/brad and a word art crest for the country itself.
(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 ).
Here's a crest for Iceland. It features the Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, one of the famous waterfalls in Iceland. At 65 meters (196 feet), it is taller than Niagara Falls which is 51 meters (167 feet). It is in the south of Iceland.
Iceland is a small Nordic country in the north Atlantic. Iceland is located where 2 continental plates meet and has volcanoes and many geysers. Although it is closer to North America, it is considered part of Europe because of its history and cultural ties to Scandinavia. Most Icelanders are descendants of Norse and Gaelic settlers. The country's language is Icelandic and is descended from Old West Norse. (It has not changed much since the 13th century, therefore Icelanders can still read their old medieval sagas written in old Norse.) Iceland became independent from Denmark in 1944. It is a parliamentary democracy with a prime minister and a president. (The president is largely ceremonial although they may veto laws and put them to a national referendum.)
