Introducing: Anna Aspnes

October 3, 2008

Award-winning and highly acclaimed digital artist Anna Aspnes makes her Smilebox debut this week with her elegant Timeless scrapbook.  The 8-page, square scrapbook was inspired by celebrations with loved ones and features warm tones and textures as well as color, black & white and sepia photo options – perfect to highlight both old and new family memories.  When asked about the creative vision behind the Timeless scrapbook Anna replied, “It’s about being together.  Because that’s the best place to be.  With many of the year’s family celebrations just around the corner it’s important to document good times with those you love.”

As a U.K. native, Colorado resident and military spouse with the United States Air Force, Anna Aspnes brings a truly global perspective to digital scrapbooking. Her journey into scrapbooking began in 2002 with her husband’s assignment to a remote USAF air base in northern Japan and the birth of her two children, Ella and Luke, now aged 6 and 3 1/2 respectively.  Intrigued by the possibilities in technology to combine art and family, she quickly transitioned into digital scrapbooking.  The response to her early work in the industry was tremendous and she was soon able to turn her artistic talents to a successful business.  Her design talents have since been sought after by both national and international digital and paper scrapbooking companies.  She also teaches, consults and educates.   Welcome to the Smilebox family, Anna!
