Handmade Club October Printable Scrapbook Pages

November 2, 2020November 2, 2020 Genevieve Speegle

I’m so proud to be part of the Shabby Art Boutique Handmade Club’s team! The October 2020 kit has so many fabulous shabby chic Christmas printables, and I incorporated them into my 12×12 scrapbook layouts this week.

This Vintage style is so much fun to work with. I added lots of Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Diamond Stickles throughout to really bring all the fussy cut images to life.

I also made a couple darling retro Christmas cards. What a fun week!

Hope these pretty projects have inspired you today. You can find these and lots more handmade goodies in my eBay shop too, so please stop by and say “hi!”

No matter what month it is, there’s always room for a little bit of Christmas.

Join me on YouTube today for eight Vintage Christmas cards ideas – all of them using fabric Santa Bingo panels from my eBay shop!

These were so much fun to make. I love this style so much, personally, and I was delighted when someone suggested a tutorial for Christmas cards.

Hope you’ll celebrate the joys of the season with me today on YouTube, no matter the date! Happy crafting! xoxo

Freebie Friday – It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Krampus

December 18, 2014December 20, 2014 Genevieve Speegle

Happy Friday! Every week I post a free pattern download. They’re available for 24 hours. After that, you can find them in my Etsy or eBay shop.

For those of you not in the know, the Krampus is a hideous anti-Santa from the old Germanic tradition. Kids misbehaving? Don’t threaten them with a boring old lump of coal; threaten them with a manacled, goat-faced demon who sneaks in at night and whips them with birch branches!

(Because Germany)

Even more (hilariously) messed up, young men have been known to dress up as the Krampus on December 5th (the eve of Saint Nicholas Day on many church calendars), and roam the streets frightening children with rusty chains and bells. Krampus is featured on holiday greeting cards called Krampuskarten.

(Because that’s what you want to see when you open an envelope on Christmas eve, right?)

This piece is 224×311 stitches, or approximately 12.5×17 inches on an 18 count fabric.

Enjoy, and happy stitching!

xoxo

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas – Cross Stitch

December 4, 2014December 4, 2014 Genevieve Speegle

Christmas cross-stitch patterns are some of my most popular designs. It’s great to be able to take that finished piece out year after year and incorporate it into your holiday décor for the family to enjoy and ooooh and awwww over for generations to come.

If you haven’t had a chance to stop by my Bella Stitchery shop in awhile, here are just a few of my current designs. I like to create everything from kitschy and retro, to funny and pop culture.

Don’t see exactly what you’re looking for? Feel free to contact me for custom designs! 🙂

Digital Age

February 2, 2012October 24, 2014 Genevieve Speegle

Ahhh, Christmas morning.

Two little people enjoying the magic of the holiday and having fun….playing with digital devices???

Wow. When did this happen?

Cousins sitting side-by-side with their iPads and iPods -too cute to pass up this photo opportunity!

I thought I would make an ironic scrapbook layout to showcase their modern toys by making the page in a Vintage style.

I used www.picnik.com to make the picture look like a Polaroid.

The paper I used is from Sassafras Lass. I embellished the page with a paper doily and some handmade crocheted flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Springtime in the Kitchen

February 7, 2010October 24, 2014 Genevieve Speegle

Please tell me that I am not the only person that looks forward to each and every season or holiday. In August, I start mentally preparing the Christmas decoration layout in our home. Now, I’m dreaming of SPRING! Ahhhhh, the sunny days, flowers and baby birds.

I’ve started creating with Spring themed goodies this week and am having so much fun with them!
