Lessons Learned

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
[Chorus:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.
There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads,
I never should've taken,
Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
[Chorus:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.
And all the things that break you,
Are all the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone,
And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all,
Lessons learned.
[Chorus:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Lessons learned.

What a nice Thursday afternoon! We were just sitting around....cleaning, catching up on laundry with (of course) Friends on in the background... when the dryer decided to break! So after trying to dry our load of laundry TWICE, I strategically placed each sock wherever I could find room. It just so happened that the Foosball table was prime makeshift drying rack! Oh, the joys of life!



Finished!


I have worked very hard this week that I have had off and I have FINISHED my Honeymoon Box. It is incredible to have something finished for myself! I really love the way it all turned out, exactly the way I had imagined, and actually a little better! Here's a little Peek of it all done.

Okay, now that you saw the peek, here is the close-ups of the box additions (the rest are already shown below). Each page is scrapbooked on the back with the patterned paper from the front. It makes the whole product look more finished!

This is the first chipboard mat that you see when the box is opened. On the back I attached a pocket with our plane tickets!

I had a fun time experimenting with ghost letters. I really enjoy the simplicity of this page because the pictures speak for themselves!

There are no pictures with this "memorable event". We were awakened by the loud fire alarm at 3 a.m., it was a huge memory I couldn't leave out! This is also the first time I used Hambly Screen Prints. So much fun!


This was a neat page to do. I had a specific idea in mind for the colors and patterned paper on this LO. Where you see the teal ribbon, that is a page pull-out that slips into the beach picture pocket. Here are the two pictures for your eyes to see!


I used only ribbon to create a textured and patterned background. I really like the bright vibrant colors with this pictures, and then this simplicity of the white flowers.


Simply Perfect~ I had wanted to do a full page LO of this picture but I also had a few more pictures and some journalling I wanted to write for my Hubby. So, I used the front as a flip-up page and the next page underneath has the journalling and some more "fun" pictures. Again, here are the two perspectives:


Last but not least- the Love of my life.... It's simple but fun. Loving the colors and all the patterned paper layers!

Thanks for looking!!!!!!!! I'll post again soon!

Surprise, Surprise, It was 4 o'clock in the morning and I was up with layouts rolling around in my head! I got out of bed to jot all of the designs down... phew I captured them before I lost them!


First thing I did when I got up this morning (after I finally fell asleep) was put a hat on my unwashed hair and hurried to The Scrapbook Zone to buy the latest items to create my 4 a.m. designs! I am settling in to get started. I will post as soon as I get them done! SO EXCITED!!!
