I’m very much enjoying August this year. I’ve had a lot of time with family, and I’m trying to savor the last bits of summer before we head into the fall months.

August is one of the busiest months for vacations in the United States, as many people try to fit in one last vacation before school starts. I love going to the beach, and while designing the Beach Fun papers and pocket cards, I longed for another trip. I need to get a beach vacay on our calendar next year!

This year, I’m expanding the Monthly Memories collection, and I love adding all of these new pieces to have more ingredients to illustrate my life stories. All of these new Monthly Memories releases use the same versatile color palette as the previous collection items so they all can mix-and-match with each other. Hooray!

I’ll start with the bundle because that’s always the way to get the very best deal!

I can’t wait to use all of these on future layouts, and I’m especially excited to use them for my upcoming September roundup. How about you? Which ones are your favorites? Are you planning to do your own roundups this year? I sure hope so! Be sure to watch this space for lots of tips and inspiration for everyday memory-keeping.
