I totally love the punny stamp images and sentiments that are part of the A Toast to You Cardmaking Workshop. The adorable messages cause me to giggle each time I read them and I could not resist using the taco one on my card.
For the paper, I incorporated the upcoming May-June Mix-Ins which means you are getting a sneak peek of some new product that will be released on May 1. This paper is currently included in the Little Penguins Album Workshop Kit, designed to make a mini album. To make this fiesta-y (can you blame me with the taco theme?), I decided to create a banner using small strips of paper from the mix-ins. I love the fun patterns and fun colors that are part of the paper pack.Thank you very much for stopping by. Now head on over to Melinda's Blog to see what she has created to share with you. Happy hoppin'!

I did add in a little bit of sponging on the White Daisy focal point and colored in the butterfly with our Tri-Blend Markers. I couldn't resist adding the Onyx Black Liquid Pearls on the butterfly.
