Hi, friends! I'm excited to share a bunch of new Messy Book items we've just released. I designed all of these pieces to coordinate with our Messy Books and Messy Boxes!
Above I'm using our raw chipboard dividers. These can be used between pages to create sections, openers or just add more dimension to our Messy Books. You can recover them with photos, papers or paint them. You can also use an X-Acto to cut windows. I am really excited about the creative possibilities here! I love pocket pages, but I like having pages in my album that aren't plastic too!
Next up, some more chipboard dividers that are printed and glossy. There are six protectors in a variety of fun patterns that mix and match but are all black and white. They're very fun to layer embellishments on!
This quote comes from a card in the April Messy Box that I cut into strips.
Also, I wanted to note that I use Glossy Accents to adhere clear things to my pages. It dries completely clear.
Next up, I have a set of six acrylic dividers. These come in fun patterns and phrases. My favorite one says "Our Adventure Book". They are great for layering over photos, painting the back for a cool effect, or just adding them between regular pages for a fun textured look.
They are a thick transparency type material. I stapled this photo booth photo to this page using my mini stapler.
Last, but not least, I am pumped about these cute attacher tabs! They come in mint, gray, and black. They are made of plastic and have adhesive on the inside like a sticker. So you can use these to make anything into a page without poking holes in your stuff (plus they just look really cute).
To apply them, just take the sticker back off, put them into your album rings (so the spacing will be perfect) and press the sticker part around whatever you want to make into a page. Done and done! I added mini staples to mine too (you can see above) just because I like the way it looks.
Cool! Thanks for taking a look at our new products. You can see everything that goes with the Messy Book here and subscribe to Messy Box here! If you've already subscribed, please use #MyBeautifulMess to share your creations with us on Instagram! We LOVE seeing what you make each week.
Happy Sunday! xx. Elsie

Weird, only the Mineral shows in the “Album” section of the shop: http://shop.abeautifulmess.com/shop/albums-05b850bd-6b0d-4a7a-80fc-da2bde0939c8
Regardless, I am happy, haha!
Thanks so much for this sunday, I was watching the Messy Box reveal and was a little apprehensive about the page dividers and the attacher tabs, but seeing them used makes me LOVE them! lol.
I really want to start scrap booking! Need to find the time.

Love the second messy box!! And these new coordinating products are FABULOUS! I also enjoy seeing the Scrapbook Sunday posts…they are very creative and inspiring! Can’t wait until I have time to play later this week!
These spreads are so gorgeous! I particularily love the polka dots – I think I’ll try that next time I’m scrapbooking!
I love the spotty page!

I really wish there was an option to do a one-time purchase of the Messy Box! Unfortunately, I am on a student budget and can’t afford a whole subscription, maybe something to think about in the future with the team. However, I am still a die-hard fan of the boxes, and hopefully one day I can afford one.
ps. I’m a huge fan of the quotes!
Ahh! This is so cute! Definitely going to try these out soon 🙂

You can order one using month-to-month and then as soon as it ships (or at latest before the 25th of the month, or else there’s a fine for canceling) put in a cancel request. It’s not an elegant system, so I’d love to see them do a “skip a month (or two or three)” option for the month-to-month and a “just buy one” option as well, but it IS possible.
Every week, these make me smile! And possibly make me want to scrapbook again… ?!

These posts make me realise how much i need to start my scrapbook albums!
Hello Elsie! Can you write a little bit about how you store all your scrapbook material? Thanks!
I so love your ideas. I wish though you had the option to buy the last months messy box. Both of the months have fit me and I wish I could buy both.
Love it! I got my messy box last week and the color scheme is beautiful. One suggestion though: I still have a bunch of the various size journal cards from the first box, and now I have even more! I will definitely use a lot of them, but perhaps in the next box it would be cool to send fewer cards and then some different goodies instead (i.e. inkpads, stickers, etc).
Hi, I love so many of your products, but don’t you think you should mention (either here or in your shop) that the printed dividers are only printed on one side! I recived my order today (after paying $30 postage) and am very disappointed!
