I was searching the blogosphere and I found a custom game of concentration (or memory) from Something I Just Made. If you want to do this with pretty vintage art, go there and print out the pre-sized art and just follower her step by step. She did it with vintage art but I thought to myself—why couldn't you do this with personal photos (which I have plenty of!). So here is what the process looks like.
I used cereal boxes, a paper cutter, mod podge, a paint brush, 2x2 photos printed at kinkos on an 8.5x11 good quality white paper and an M stamp for the finishing touch on the back. I put them in plain brown jewelry boxes and mod podged some scrapbook paper on the top, then stamped "Memory" across the lid.
