Messy Box is a scrapbooking subscription from A Beautiful Mess. I love my Happy Mail subscription, so I wanted to try this one out too. I have never scrapbooked, but I love their designs so much I figured I could use the items for something else if I didn’t take it up! (They also sell exclusive scrapbook books and pages to go along with the sizes of items in this kit).

My Subscription Addiction pays for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

I am totally framing that sequin print - it is awesome!

This box includes 3 9×12 one-sided pages and a 9x12 Transparency:

Sequin Pack (20 Silver, 20 Blue, 20 Pink, 20 Green)

Days of the Week Puffy Stickers (28 total stickers)

 

Love these puffy stickers! One thing to mention though - they have a HORRIBLE chemical smell! I'm hoping that goes away soon because they are too cute.

Verdict: I like the designs and pink and black colors this month. As always, the A Beautiful Mess team delivers cute stuff!

Based on the comments from some scrapbooking readers on previous Messy Box reviews, I’d say this box is worth the $25 a month cost if you’re excited about exclusive prints and designs from A Beautiful Mess. If you’re looking purely for scrapbooking materials, there are likely cheaper options.

What do you think of the January Messy Box?

Do the sell books with sectioned pages/clear pockets to go with the size of the inserts?
