March Memory Journal Cover Memory Journal – Week 10 layouts - I wanted to share last week's memory journal layouts. These 6x8 layouts are so fun and easy to do. I use these layouts in place of project life and memory planners because I feel like I have so much more flexibility and ability to document more of my everyday life. I find that I can "keep up" with the daily layouts so much easier as it takes me about an average of 15 minutes to do each page which fits right in with my Creative 15 theme for 2021.
