Country Cottage Collaborative Sale
I had so much fun designing this kit with Manu Scraps and Aquarius Designs. So curl up with the kitten in the rocking chair on the porch, peek into a vine covered window or luxuriate by the birdbath in the garden. Country cottage evokes the serenity and charm of country living in a soft color palette filled with pink, rose, lavender, green, and yellow hues. Complete with its own cozy cottage, domestic animals, wildlife, garden blooms, rustic elements, and more, this large collaborative kit provides creative inspiration for a wide variety of scrapbooking projects.

The kit itself contains 30 papers, 12” x 12”, and 103 elements, created at 300 dpi. And there are lots of fun add-ons including a picket fence alpha, stacked papers, clusters, glitters and word arts.
It lends itself perfectly to traditional and scenic/fantasy types of layouts as you can see in the layouts done by our CT teams:
Both the kit and the add-ons are on sale at E-scapes and Scrap and at Heritage Scrap through June 4th for 35% Off for its release.
I have so enjoyed getting to know Linda and Manu better as we have been working on this kit, that I want to introduce you to both of them.
Introducing my Collab Partner
Manu aka ManuScraps
A little about your background….
1 When did you start Designing? I started as ct and made layouts for friends and making my own elements whenever I didn't have the right one in my stash. I joined RakScraps and contributed minikits. Later I got emails from a few store owners asking me if I don't want to sell. In January 2007 I joined The Daily Scrap then.
2 How did you chose your Design name ? First I had ManuDesigns in mind, but Manuela Zimmermann (you know her as Studio Manu for sure) already had picked that name *lol* So I chose ManuScraps
3 Where do you live? I live in the heart of Germany.
4 Tell us about your family ie, hubby, kids, etc? I don't have kids - I still feel to young ;) I'm living with my partner and cat.
Getting to know you……
5 Do you have a ‘real’ job besides designing? I’m manager of a video store.
6 What is your favourite hobby besides Digi Scrapping? Reading, reading and ...reading. I love thriller and read each evening in bed.
7 How long have you been designing? Since 2003 I think. HUH, that long??
8 What is one of your pet peeves? Definately housework. I work 42 hours and more a week and don't want to spend my little spare time with things like that *lol* But well, not matter what, it has to be done, right?
9 If you could travel anywhere where would you go? That's hard to answer... There a so many places I haven't been yet and would like to go... Hawaii, Egypt, Australia, USA...
10 Tell us something about you that no one knows.
I don't think I have something left no one knows yet. But 2 things not everyone knows:
- I don't have any pure bright red in my wardrobe because I can't wear it without getting aggressive
- if it was up to me to decide there would be more rectangle, triangle and cubic things in the world than round ones. Yes, my watch is square and I have hexagonal long drink glasses.

A little about your background….
1 When did you start Designing? I started to play
with taggerkits and creating tags in PSP in 2006, in 2008 I released my first freebies and learned PS. Now I work with PS CS4 and Artrage Studio Pro although I still haven’t gotten time to manage all features of this program..
2 How did you chose your Design name ?
I guess my choice for this is quite simple, since I my sign is Aquarius that was an easy pick *lol*
3 Where do you live? I live in the Netherlands nearby Germany and Belgium.
4 Tell us about your family ie, hubby, kids, etc? I am married and have 3 kids in ages 5 to 13, they are my world I can’t imagine having found more joy then with my husband and kids. We also have 2 fur babies a dog and cat.
Getting to know you…
5 Do you have a ‘real’ job besides designing? I work (almost) fulltime as a kind of an accountant, when the kids are at school that is the place I am at filling my time.
6 What is your favourite hobby besides Digi Scrapping? That is easy I love to take photographs altho I wish I had way more skills in that department, my wish is (when I get more time) to attend a photography course to make my photo’s stunning ;-)
7 How long have you been designing? About 4 years.
8 What is one of your pet peeves? Housework. I mean, who really likes doing this? Just looking at my floors now they are completely dirty with sand, hair and stuff and the laundry (rolling eyes) gosh I thought I had washed it all (except I didn’t iron since it was too hot to do that the last few days) but if I look in the laundry basket I just feel overwhelmed at what is already in there again (sigh).
9 If you could travel anywhere where would you go? I want to see so many places, I would love to go the states, Indonesia, etc. etc. but with kids you can’t go ‘see’ the real country so that is on my ‘to do’ list when they have grown up ( and when I have saved enough to do this ).
10 Tell us something about you that no one knows. Uhm that is a hard question, I think I am a very private person and rather not talk about personal stuff unless it is someone I really know, although I could tell you that I have fought cancer a bit too often not just myself but in my family as well a matter of fact we are dealing with this again with my milf who I love dearly.

- I'm a scrapbook addict. I've been involved with digital scrapabooking since July 2009, when my daughter introduced me to her favorite hobby. When I'm not scrapbooking (hmm, when exactly is that?), I'm enjoying life with my family including my two daughters and two grandsons, my husband Clemens and my Cavalier Spaniel, Vinnie. My hobbies include photography, reading, biking, and hiking.
