She could have fallen out of a boat, off the stage, out of the tree, off of a flower, into the pool, off your card, into an oval, off of a building, off of a horse, out of a sleigh, out of an airplane, etc. etc. etc. She just has to be overboard!!

Well my Granny went overboard on shopping...... something I would never do!!!!

Things I used on my card:

• Stamps: Our Craft Lounge’s

Bottoms' Up!Thursday's Way's To Use Challenge was called Bottoms up. The idea being to use alcohol. No...not the drinking kind but the crafting kind. Alcohol inks, copic alcohol markers, you get the idea. If you wanted you could use themed stamps. So I went with a bottle of wine that Pat the Dog dug up, plus he's bottom is up!

*******

Here is a sneak peek for you from Our Craft Lounge. They have released over 20 sets at CHA this last weekend. What fun that Pat the dog has.
