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).

9×12 papers
Even though these are made for scrapbooking, I've been framing quite a few of these papers in cheap IKEA frames for inexpensive artwork! This lemon one would look great in a kitchen!
This box includes 3 9×12 one-sided pages and a 9x12 Transparency:
Yes, that is a pizza slice transparency!
Watermelon Diecuts
Heart Stickers
These watermelons are so cute! And heart stickers are always useful!
Circle Die Cuts
These have a sticker backing, and the cardboard material makes them pop!
Journal Cards 4 4x6
These are all double sided this month! Here are the other sides:
I like the recipe card addition!
Journal Cards 6 3x3
And the flip sides:
Journal Cards 2 3x4, and 9Cardstock Food Die Cuts
These Journal cards are reversible, but the smaller squares are one-sided. Here are the flip sides for the 2 3X4 cards:
Verdict: I like the colors and the food theme this month - I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with yummy-inspired designs!
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.
