I love doing layouts that roundup one month at a time because I don't feel like I have to follow a certain theme. I don't even worry about whether all my photos and cards match perfectly because I'm more interested in telling the stories of our life for that period of time. It's a very fun way to do memory-keeping! August was a very full month for us, with lots of travel and family time. I feel blessed to have such a month!

The template (This Month template set), the August cards, the tape, and the background paper are all available in my online shop, and the Shakespeare + Rock & Roll card is something I made in Canva. The journaling font is Poppins.

I kept this page clean and simple, focusing on the photos and journaling. I love that I can streamline my approach and keep it manageable. I love to mix and match supplies from the monthly memories collection with coordinating themed elements. Each month this year, I plan to release a complete set of designs that will cover everyday memories + some more themes and holidays to match. When paired with the existing MM designs, you will find a really big pool of supplies to pull from!

Papers, cards, and template are from my shop from the Monthly Memories collection. Here are the ingredients I used to create this layout:

• This Month Template Set

• August Memories Pocket Cards

• August Bits & Pieces (tape)

• Monthly Memories Solid Papers

• Poppins font for journaling

This is just one of the ways you can do a monthly roundup. The most important part of doing a recap is to document the things that happened. It’s terrific if you can add photos and some of your own words to create something extraordinary! Stay tuned for some brand new additions coming soon to the Monthly Memories collection to help you with your own roundups and recaps!
