Introducing: Anna Aspnes

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!

Smilebox is thrilled to have talented graphic designer Dani Mogstad as one of our featured artists. Dani Mogstad has been working with computers and graphic design for almost 10 years. She loves to work in Photoshop and got her start working in pre-press. She married her high school sweetheart and after the birth of her daughter in 2004 she found another passion, scrapbooking. It didn’t take her long to discover digital scrapbooking and her love for it. Shortly after that she opened her own website, Design By Dani, selling her digital designs, where she has continued to be successful for more than two years.

She loves photography and finds endless inspiration from her photos and her spunky three-year-old daughter. She also continues her first love for scrapbooking and if not designing she loves to spend an evening with her laptop scrapbooking all her treasured photos! Here are some of her most popular Smilebox designs –-
