Sharing my February roundup
I finished my February 2021 roundup and it feels good to have a new page for our family records. This is a great format for me, but there is no right or wrong way to do a roundup.
Here’s my February page:
Here are the “ingredients” of my page:
Paper designed by me (will be released in a future collection)
Persnickety Prints free timeline - It’s actually grouped in with the 2020 downloads so look there
Graphic from New York Times
Graphic from the Utah Coronavirus website
Be Mine digital stamp from Full Heart stamp set
Design decisions:
I decided to go with the black & white (and yellow) version of the timeline. I loved using the colorful ones last year, but felt ready for a change.
I thought a black background would be a good way to have the colors of the other images stand out.
I picked a bright red for the numbers card to match the state of Utah graphic.
With all the information and bright colors, I decided to keep everything else very simple.
Keeping track of what happened:
I’ve been keeping a daily news journal in my notes app on my Apple devices. I just jot down a few headlines or important tidbits each day. Now it’s become a small daily habit for me that doesn’t take much time.
We barely did anything and hardly went anywhere so I didn’t have much to look through on my calendar.
Unfortunately, I only took a handful of photos this month. I’ve got to find ways to get inspired again with daily photography. It’s difficult to do that when you don’t really do anything different, but I need to remember it’s good to capture the everyday routine of this time in photos.
My roundup prompts and graphic are in this post if you want to use them for your own monthly roundup. If you share on instagram, be sure to use the hashtag #memoryroundup so I can see your post!
