I'm back from spending a fantastic 5 days in Robin Hoods Bay on the East Coast. We stayed in the best B&B ever - Birtley House - so if you ever want to visit this lovely village I can truly recommend it. The bed is the most comfortable one I've ever slept in away from home and the breakfast really sets you up for the day. There's a great selection of cereals, juices, a tray of dried fruit and seeds, a tray of fresh fruit all nicely prepared and dishes of grapefruit, peaches and prunes - and that's just for starters! Connie makes the largest and most delicious Full English Breakfast I have ever had but if it's too much for you, you can have a selection of whatever you want. Mike really looks after you and is a mine of information about the area and couldn't do enough to make us feel really welcome.
Robin Hoods Bay is at the end of Wainwrights Coast to Coast walk which starts in St Bees on the Cumbrian coast, it's famous for it's rock pools and fossil hunting and it's a very quaint unspoilt coastal village - needless to say - we will be visiting again!

So getting back to the cards:-
It was my turn to set the Dare over on Daring Cardmakers last Friday:-

As Teri has some wonderful images which lend themselves to layering, that is what I've chosen for my Dare this week:-
Layer it Up
I want to see at least one extra layer to your stamped, digi or pre-printed images used on your cards this week. I won't accept just layers to card stock or papers - it has to be on the main image of your card.
Here's my card:-
