Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello friends! Its Jennifer back on the blog to share one of the Memory-Dex DIY Boxes with you! If you have not had a chance to create with these, you must try them! There are four different styles of boxes to choose from and both acrylic and chipboard dividers!  

After assembling my box, I  painted all sides (including the inside) with brown acrylic paint.  I  added a touch of water to  give it a "stained" look.  Then using my Beacon Adhesive, I  adhered patterned paper to the sides and front of the wood.  For accent, I  added the inside circle of the Vine Circle Chipboard Embellishment Shapes to the front of the 6 Inch Regular Memory-Dex DIY Box.  

I  decorated the Vintage Chipboard Dividers using black acrylic paint and patterned paper on both sides.  I used these mainly for my accent divider cards. 

To separate out my recipes, I  used the Rounded Tab Chipboard Dividers as shown here.  

Since I  could not use regular size recipe cards, I  decided to type out my favorites onto tags and place them behind my dividers.  

For breakfast, I  created a pocket for my tags using the Regular Tab Chipboard Divider.

I tried to keep my embellishments simple and not overpower my dividers.  I  do love how the black makes the colors of the collection I  used pop! 

For my dinner tags, I did include one with favorite go to places that we love to eat out.  My husband is definitely the cook in our family! LOL
