It can be tricky to go back in time and reconstruct the events for a scrapbook page. However, my memory roundup routine has taught me to look through my calendars and monthly notes to easily jog my memory. As a result, I was able to put together this two-page spread about September, even though we are well into November now.

September was a hectic month for us, full of grandbaby visits (yay!), planning Halloween decorations, getting ready to host my entire family for our annual Fall Fest in October (early Thanksgiving), and a few routine medical appointments. I also participated in the Hobbyscool Summit and taught a class about documenting your life through photos + words. Here’s the link if you want to watch it for free.

Don't be afraid to go back and do older roundups. Look through your photos for that month and review your calendar. You will be able to piece together some very meaningful memories!

Papers, cards, and template are from my shop from the Monthly Memories and Cozy Fall collections. Here are the ingredients I used to create these layouts:

• Monthly Memories Template Set

• Monthly Memories Months Paper Pack

• Monthly Memories Solid papers

• Monthly Memories Memories Made Cards and Stamps

• Cozy Fall Pocket Cards

• Proxima Nova 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 wonderful if you can add photos and some of your own words to create something really special!
