<br />Even though the Cottage is history now, I still want to honour all our Cottage Creatives' hard work that they so generously gave for the few months we were online. Here are the Creatives who will receive the Fabulous!! CT Appreciation Kit, for which I was a participating designer:
<br />
<br /><strong>Joanne </strong>(JobaScraps)
<br /><strong>Jean Ann
<br />Jennifer</strong> (jennifer18)
<br /><strong>Sue</strong> (ozsue)
<br /><strong>Donna</strong> (Jessicasma)
<br /><strong>Cassidy</strong> (Cadacee)
<br /><strong>Carolyn</strong> (KayC)
<br /><strong>Tracy</strong> (Sillyscrapper)
<br /><strong>Charlene</strong> (ciocichar)
<br /><strong>Jan Merkley</strong>
<br />
<br />For their super contribution to the Cottage site, I want to add two more names to this list; these ladies were to become CT members, but then... life happened. The kit will also go to the following "Honorary Cottage Creatives":
<br />
<br /><strong>Keryn</strong> (Kessa)
<br /><strong>Suruha</strong> (Su)
<br />
<br />Congratulations, Ladies! I will be in touch with you when the time arrives!!!!
<br />Meanwhile, Bee Happy!

I'm in the Perennial section this year, so I'm having fun ooing and awing the lovely baby perennials coming in from the greenhouses in the back of the retail nursery. I'm going around with visions of garden beds in my head. My own, for a change. In my past life, I was a garden designer/plant scientist, so it seems that the role has been given to me again... and I enjoy it.<br /><br />This little visit to my blog is overdue and I apologise for that. Thank you to all who've left me lovely comments and written to me, telling me they miss me at the site and in the forums, etc. I miss you all, too.<br /><br />I might as well give you the rest of the story while I'm here, dear friends. Here are the rest of the Asperge Delight Papers and the Elements as well.<br /><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_prezzy_2.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Asperge Delight Papers 2</span></a><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_prezzy_3.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Asperge Delight Papers 3</span></a><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_prezzy_4.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Asperge Delight Papers 4</span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_asperge_delight_ep3.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Asperge Delight Elements 3</span></a><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_asperge_delight_ep4.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Asperge Delight Elements 4</span></a><br /><br />In addition, here is a little gift for you from my last kit, Mysteria, see preview above. I cannot say when I'll be able to come back and post you some freebies, much less when I can fill the 'orders' some of you have given me in response to my call for suggestions, but ... you never know! It may be next week or next month, not sure. Thank you for all your suggestions, and I'll endeavour to fulfill your requests, but please be patient with me. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_mysteria_gift.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Download Mysteria Gift Here</span></a><br /><br />Your scrapping nursery worker<br />Stella<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5600663323781382281-3279567135024537912?l=stellarificcreations.blogspot.com'/></div>Stellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04974217201936725906botanicals@soulopen.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600663323781382281.post-55314773331119675172009-04-29T08:45:00.004-04:002009-04-29T08:49:58.805-04:00Last of April Showers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CY3v9qBQSjw/SfhMWkzKVmI/AAAAAAAACE0/nXhgy01_CSY/s1600-h/pussy_willow.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 235px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CY3v9qBQSjw/SfhMWkzKVmI/AAAAAAAACE0/nXhgy01_CSY/s320/pussy_willow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330094109712078434" border="0" /></a><br />Before the month is over, I want to give you the last of April Showers, # 4, to complete your kit.<br /><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_april_showers4.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">DOWNLOAD # 4 HERE</span></a><br /><br />I have started working at a retail nursery this week and so I won't be as present on the net as I would like to be.

The above previews show four, and there are four more, of the April posting bonus collection. If you want them, here they are, all yours. I figure the Spring fever has hit me (I'm sick with a bug - bleeckk) and I might as well console myself by giving you all the posting bonuses. They're not doing anything sitting on my hard drive, and besides, you can do something with them - maybe use them for all your Easter and Spring photos. I hope you like chocolate, eggs, bunnies and little birdies!<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_admire.zip">Download # 1 - Admire the Flowers</a></strong><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_chosen1.zip">Download # 2 - Chosen One Challenge</a></strong><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_chronicls.zip">Download # 3 - Chronicle of Days</a></strong><br /><br /><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_scrtseas.zip"><strong>Download # 4 - Scrap This Season</strong></a><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_heritage.zip">Download # 5 - Heritage Challenge</a></strong><br /><br /><strong><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_hybrid.zip">Download # 6 - Hybrid Challenge<br /></a></strong><br /><strong><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_impromptu.zip">Download # 7 - Impromptu Challenge</a></strong> ('Kessa' won the "I Make You A Kit" Prize - Congratulations, Keryn! :) )<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://soulopen.com/stella/stcr_chocbunny_vtp.zip">Download # 8 - Verse To Page</a></strong><br /><br />That's it for today's freebies.

Here in New Brunswick, though, we woke up to a thick blanket of the white stuff, as you can see in my photo of Piroune, my sister's cat, looking out towards our new home parked in the driveway. She was not a happy cat this morning! <br /><br />We all had a delicious meal of turkey and yummy turnips, but not the cat - she doesn't like turnips. Then the snow didn't seem too bad. Lots of birdies came to the feeder and kept us entertained.

We upgraded our account last week and instead of extending our bandwidth, as we thought would happen, something went drastically wrong and they had to delete the files. There is absolutely nothing we can do. Yes, we could try to build it all back up again, from scratch. Sad to say, we have neither the courage, time or money to do that. My dh and I are starting full time jobs soon and making a fresh start with our very first home, so we are just too stretched out to even consider such an undertaking. I am truly sorry to all the Cottage designers and creatives and members who had so whole-heartedly made the Cottage their home. <br /><br />We want to thank everyone who have expressed their sympathy and offered their help in re-building the site. Your love and concern are really appreciated. We have decided to leave things as they are. We each have our own blog and I will continue designing on a small scale, giving you occasional freebies and fun kits. :) <br /><br />Again, Thank You for your support!

Here are the previews, element details and the papers, too.<br />I am not offering this kit in any store, only here on my blog! To get this very affordable, complete- over 150MB - kit for only $2.75, simply send me that amount via PayPal to the email address below my name at the end of this post.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/store/images/stcr_mysteria_kit_epck1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/store/images/stcr_mysteria_kit_epck1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_mysteria_kit_epck2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_mysteria_kit_epck2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This beautiful, mystery-themed kit has 20 papers and 52 elements ~ at only $2.75 (regular price!), this is a great bargain. I'm totally concerned about giving my friends bargains like this so we can all help each other in these troubling economic times. This kit will give you hours and hours of scrapping pleasure, I'm sure. Here is the paper pack preview:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_mysteria_kit_ppck.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 500px;" src="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_mysteria_kit_ppck.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" href="http://www.blogger.com/botanicals@soulopen.com"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></a>As soon as I am informed of your purchase, I will send you the zipped files. Easy as that!

There is some shadow on the pink umbrella, but no shadows on anything else. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_april_showers1.zip"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here is PART 1 OF APRIL SHOWERS</span></a><br /><br />Come back next week for Part 2! I thought this kit was so appropriate for all the rain we've been getting here in Atlantic Canada. For all of you in the drought regions, and especially my friends in Australia, please grab this kit as a positive spellcaster to help you all get rain soon! (I sure wish it could work that way. ;) )<br /><br />Cheers until next time!<br />Stella<br />botanicals@soulopen.com<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5600663323781382281-6114682849062279868?l=stellarificcreations.blogspot.com'/></div>Stellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04974217201936725906botanicals@soulopen.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600663323781382281.post-89837545521263489772009-04-05T13:16:00.008-04:002009-04-12T17:12:32.276-04:00Asperge Delight Has Arrived!Freebies & "New Life" Kit Alert!<br /><br />If you love the colour blue...oh, and you love BLING, then you simply cannot miss this one!<br />For the month of March and April, I have created a mini kit for your scrapping pleasure.

I had fun creating this for you last night, while I listened to my new audiobook on my new iPod! :) But that's not what I got for Christmas ~ no, even better than that! For Christmas, my dear sweetie got me a brand-spanking-new state of the art KEYBOARD. Mine croaked a couple of weeks ago, and after hearing me smash my fingers and swear on a very old plug-in one I dug up from the basement, he secretly got me this gorgeous all-bells-and-whistles BEAUTY!<br /><br />Now my fingers fly and the keys are feather-touch, my carpel tunnel has subsided and it feels great to be back!<br /><br />Your Christmas Blog Freebie has 8 elements and four papers, made especially for celebratory pages and grandiose layouts. Glitter, stars and the royal colour purple ~ all for you!<br /><br /><a href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_blog_christmas.zip">DOWNLOAD YOUR BLOG FREEBIE HERE</a><br /><br />All personal use and the drop shadows are, as usual, for preview purposes only.<br /><br />WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!<br />Stella</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5600663323781382281-9132374967487768343?l=stellarificcreations.blogspot.com'/></div>Stellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04974217201936725906botanicals@soulopen.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600663323781382281.post-77007360728970886192008-12-16T19:43:00.000-05:002008-12-16T19:43:08.556-05:00Merry Pre-Christmas Freebie<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CY3v9qBQSjw/SUhLGqfLJ6I/AAAAAAAABnA/Ga2mA36EMNE/s1600-h/cottage_notes_freebie.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CY3v9qBQSjw/SUhLGqfLJ6I/AAAAAAAABnA/Ga2mA36EMNE/s320/cottage_notes_freebie.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Dear Friends ~<br />Christmas is soon coming around and I thought I'd give you a pre-Christmas gift. Here's a PageKit I put together to coordinate with the posting bonuses at the Cottage Meeting Place Challenges for November. It's over 33 MB and filled with musical charm.<br />Before I do so, however, I would like to share something personal with you. It's personal, but it also has public knowledge mixed in as well. While doing some digi-shopping recently I came upon <strong><a href="http://divinedigital.com/boutique/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=38">Princess Lala's Buy-My-Store ad called "Operation Save Christmas."</a></strong> Her touching story tugged at my heart strings because I too remember having very little to give my daughter on quite a few Christmases. Asking for help was not only hard, but impossible for me, and I admire Laura for having the courage to share her plight with the digital community. I had only admired her work from afar up to that time, but I couldn't resist this great opportunity: her whole store for only $27.00! and more...<br /><br />So I did it. I am certainly thrilled with her beautiful designs, many of which are commercial use and S4H friendly. Not only do you get over 85 products in this lot, but she gives you a special coupon so you can aquire any product she adds to her store until February for free! Now that's a great deal!!! If you think this is a beautiful Christmas bargain, and also to help out a great lady and co-designer, please go to her store at Divine Digital:<br /><a href="http://divinedigital.com/boutique/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=38">http://divinedigital.com/boutique/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=38</a><br /><br />I promise you, you will NOT be disappointed! Now for your little freebie. <br />Please note: if you read the Dec. 1st issue of Cottage Notes Newsletter on the Cottage Scrapbooks site, this is the SAME freebie that was offered there. If you have this one already, then please go to the NEW Cottage Notes page and find FOUR all-new Freebies there, too. :) This is the URL for the December 15th, Christmas Edition of COTTAGE NOTES:<br /><br /><a href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=49&products_id=329">Cottage Notes Newsletter in the Shoppe<br /></a><br />Music ...<br /><br /><a href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_cottage_notes_decfree1.zip">DOWNLOAD your Cottage Notes 1 HERE</a><br /><br /><a href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/Uploads/stcr_cottage_notes_decfree2.zip">DOWNLOAD number 2 Freebie HERE</a><br /><br />Enjoy!<br />Stella<div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5600663323781382281-7700736072897088619?l=stellarificcreations.blogspot.com'/></div>Stellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04974217201936725906botanicals@soulopen.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600663323781382281.post-50576568417089520352008-12-13T09:13:00.000-05:002008-12-13T09:13:37.688-05:00A Commercial Use Freebie for you<a href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/"><img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CY3v9qBQSjw/SUPDENcVsqI/AAAAAAAABmg/nCK40SW0Tbo/s320/stcr_grayscale_cubrdr.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><br />Hi Dear Friends ~<br />I've been a busy designer, getting into the seasonal spirit. First there were the elements and the papers for Sparkle Fairies, next came the borders and the frames. Today I created 20 new <span style="color:#993399;"><em><strong>GLITTER borders and overlays</strong></em></span> that coordinate with the Sparkle series. AND ~ you are invited to go to my store and meet Brea, the new Cottage Sparkle Fairy! She is so cute! But I digress...<br /><br />What you are looking at in the image above are recolored versions of the grayscale glitter border that is yours to have and do as you please.. it's Commercial Use OK! Add a style for some really sweet sparkly effects.<br /><br />To gather it for your own, go to my Stellarific Creations store at Cottage Scrapbooks, and add to your cart! Simple as that!<br />Enjoy!<br /><br />Stella<br /><a href="http://cottagescrapbooks.com/">http://cottagescrapbooks.com</a><br /><br />:)<div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5600663323781382281-5057656841708952035?l=stellarificcreations.blogspot.com'/></div>Stellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04974217201936725906botanicals@soulopen.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600663323781382281.post-42007176613715113852008-12-01T00:03:00.000-05:002008-12-01T00:03:00.471-05:00Digital Arts Cafe Blog PartyHi Friends !<br />I have TWO Blog Parties on my blog today the 1st of December, so SCROLL down for the Cottage Blog Party and feel free to grab this 5-page freebie I made as a collab with Digital Arts Cafe first:<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CY3v9qBQSjw/STNJMTCdxqI/AAAAAAAABmY/DgVWukvlmOo/s1600-h/stcr_blogdac_dec1.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CY3v9qBQSjw/STNJMTCdxqI/AAAAAAAABmY/DgVWukvlmOo/s320/stcr_blogdac_dec1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is a first for me, but I know it's going to be fun!
