Sketchy Thursdays and lots of Echo Park

My kit this month at Memorable Seasons contained the Echo Park Times & Seasons line which has so absolutely fantastic colors!!!!  I thought the teal, moss, cranberry, and navy would be perfect for a Christmas page, and so was this weeks sketch at Sketchy  Thursdays!  Here is my page:

And here is the sketch:

I splattered some navy Maya Mist on the white background and zigzag stitched on the teal and red background squares. Then I made a tree shape with some green paper squares with my photos.

I added some little pearls and some twine to decorate my tree!

I also created this page for this months Member of the Month scraplift challenge at Memorable Seasons.  It was a lift of a page by Laura Cox (scrapaddict4).

This is my dad when he was about 5 years old (1952ish), we think!  He looks so much like my brothers when they were little1  I love the teal and green together with the cream and the black to old the "old time" feeling.  "You're the Bees Knees" is something my dad would totally say!  :)

And lastly I have a layout that I did a few weeks ago.  I love the trend of using shapes like diamons, chevrons, hexagons, and zig zags on pages right now, so I posed this challenge at the MS message board for this month.  Here is the page I created using chvrons made from triangles.

I continued the chevron theme by using a zig zag punch on the top left and some zig zag stitching along the top right edge.

I realized after I photographed this page that I forgot to write my journaling...duh.  :)
