Since we learned in Psalm 1 that we are to meditate on the Word of God day and night, I thought a little project might help us to accomplish that goal. Take a 3x5 card and write down either a verse from the section of Scripture you've been studying, a few main ideas that you're trying to keep in front of your mind. Then make this display board for your refrigerator or anywhere in your house to display your card and remind yourself to meditate.
First you need some colored cardstock and another piece of patterned scrapbook paper. You can add embellishments or whatever you'd like. I didn't use the whole 12x12 green cardstock paper since that would be huge! I cut my down to the size I wanted on my frig. Then fit the patterned paper inside of the that.
I added a title with letter stickers that say, "Meditate day and night."
Finally take a 3x5 card and put photo corners on each of the 4 corners. The photo corners I used were clear. Then stick that to a coordinating piece of cardstock that is just slightly bigger then your 3x5 card and glue it to your page. This way you'll be able to change out your verses as you memorize them.

Amanda - this is an incredibly GREAT idea! I've been trying to think up a way to post some of the memory verses I have been working on so that I could see them regularly! - I'm so going to do this! Thanks for posting!
Great idea. I love Psalms 1:2-3. I haven't thought on it much lately but now that I've been reminded I think I am going to write it out as well. Love the picture of the tree, not just by the water, but by streams of water, firmly planted, yielding fruit, never withering, always prospering. Quite a promise - yet everyday I have to be reminded to meditate, meditate, day and night. Why is that so easily pushed out of my mind? The interchangeable card holder is a great way to remind yourself repeatedly. Thanks for sharing!
Glad the project will be helpful!
Julie--quite a promise indeed!! Now to just make it a daily habit.
