[FONT=trebuchet ms, sans-serif]How to Make a Memorydex Box (no chipboard required)[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, sans-serif]Have you ever heard of a Memorydex? It was an idea started by Heidi Swapp – it’s like a Rolodex meets your craft room. The Rolodex used to index business cards, and now this system is being used to organize notes, reminders, recipes, a gratitude journal, or even a travel diary. Scrapbookers are really enjoying cherishing their everyday moments in this format right now.

I've designed 3 different sizes with both straight and scalloped edges.
4.25 width x 4.25 length x 1.75 high
4.25 width x 5 length x 1.75 high
4.25 width x 6 length x 1.75 high[/FONT]
Any of my boxes can be made from just two sheets of 8.5x11 inch card stock. This means you can print a digital pattern and make it match your index cards.
A “mini” memorydex box lets you keep specific topics together so you can sort them easily.
And since the page size we’re cutting is 8.5x11, you can custom print a digital pattern if you want, instead of a pre-printed pattern.

As a gardener, I often trade seeds with others. I can never remember all the details, so now I have a place to store them. My envelope won't let any seeds fall out of the holes at the bottom because the flap comes up, then back down, sealing them in.

This is a free printable pattern I used for one of my boxes, shown in the video:
