This month’s Messy Box has such great pastels! I loved the giant patterned chipboard alpha and the icon stickers. They’re perfect for documenting my lack of enthusiasm over the coldest season of the year. I mean, we did just spend three years at 6,000 ft. elevation at the base of a 14k mountain so I shouldn’t be complaining just yet, but this California girl will always be eager for spring to hurry! Also, this kit feels really versatile to use well into the spring season with its soft colors and mixable patterns. I am a fan!
I used a few items from the A Beautiful Mess shop such as the blush felt wool and the dark coral plastic alpha as well as a random card from a previous Messy Box.
I used the transparency page in this kit like you would a regular scrapbook page and just stapled and adhered paper without worrying about seeing through on the other side. For my album I may put it into a transparency page and add another page behind it, but I might just punch holes directly into the page and call it a day. I like to live on the wild side.
These two pages were brought to you by a cold winter’s day and are my version of getting my complaining off my chest. Sometimes you just have to document how you really feel about winter and Mondays! We’ve got snow in the forecast for tomorrow, so I’m off to get my big girl pants on and see it as an excuse to bake cookies or have an extra two cups of coffee! Happy scrapbooking! –Rachel

Beautiful!! And I just had to say AMEN to extra coffee. We’re not used to big snows in SC and I had 4 cups of coffee yesterday. But nobody died so it’s a win HA
I’d absolutely love to get into scrapbooking. This is a lovely realistic reflection of a Monday! I’m not loving our chilly English weather at the moment 🙁 currently curled up by the fire with a mass of blankets!

Cute! It looks to me like this must have taken FOREVER – but I’m sure that someone who scrapbooks way more than I do probably has this down to a science. I will have to look into this messy box!
