Country Cottage is a personal use collaboration by Aquarius Design, ManuScraps and StarSongStudio.

Layouts created by the wonderful CT from StarSongStudio and Aquarius Design:

Here is the way this challenge works: we provide you with a little mini kit of papers and elements for you to make a layout. You must use each and every item in the kit and nothing else. You may use the items more than once, but each piece has to be used in your layout. The number of photos used is up to you.


Save your image as a jpg file, at 600x600 pixels, no larger than 125 K. 

Here is the mini that you will be using this month:

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? 

Definitely 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.
