Handmade Memorydex Box Album Using ‘Tasty Treats by Decor8yourlife’

Posted on May 17, 2025May 16, 2025 by Sandi Nagel

✨ NEW PROJECT ✨
I dusted off some of my memorydex dies and created something sweet and special — a handmade Memorydex Box Album using my Tasty Treats by Decor8yourlife 5×5 paper collection! 🍓💚

Each card is one of a kind, layered with embellishments from my stash and my shop (think florals, appliques, pearls and bows!) — and they all tuck neatly inside this custom gift box I made from scratch. 💌 Details in my blog.

And if you want a closer look, I’ve shared a full project video over on my channel 🎥 (Decor8yourlife 💕)

Tell me in the comments — have you ever made a memdex box album? Or is this your sign to finally try one?
