Morning Peeps, time for another Cupcake. And this week, Liza has chosen a fab challenge that made my tummy sink with fear! Lots of Layers. I struggle with putting colours and papers that match together, so lots of layers had me running for the choklit! ;) We are joined this week, by our lovely regular sponsor; Crafty Emma's Store and this month our Icing on the Cupcake sponsor is Bunny Zoe's Crafts.
Last week, Donna sent me a lovely parcel of stash (thanks Sweetie). Donna's packages always come in a box filled with polystyrene packaging beans. Sweet Cheeks loves these beans and will play happily with them for days. Last week, Sweet Cheeks was so 'into' his beans, that one day when we were going out, he insisted on packing them in his little Lightening McQueen bag so he could take them out shopping with us! Sadly, they are no more, as they turned to moosh after being left in his 'bubbles drinkie'. AKA Tap water! He likes the fizzy water I drink, but is not allowed it very often. Luckily, he's not sussed that the water that comes out of the tap is not actually bubbly!
Well, you've seen my creation, pop over and see what the rest of The Cupcakes have made...

Wow! You've been chruning out some right corkers lately!! I think it's time for me to come out from behind the shed and re-connecting with my stash. Have a groovy week!! xx
Morning Fluffy. I am with SC on this one, I used to take "beans" to Playgroup all the time and the kids would love to stick them together and make "Aliens" we loved it. THEN about four years ago the powers that be, that protect children (and stop them PLAYING!!), said "beans" are DANGEROUS if swollowed....Isn't anything that a two year old swollows dangerous!!
So gone they are!!!
We will find something else to have fun with until they ban that too....
Love your chick card, and I can see at least 7 layers, good job. Debbiexx
Morning cyber-sis
This is such an adorable card, Love those papers, and your colouring is always spot-on, think I need lessons.
I dunno why layers worried you, you got this perfick!
Packing beans, like bubble wrap and cardboard boxes, are part of kiddies play as they grow up. They can have more fun with those than some of the 'real' toys because it lets their imagination soar :)
Go sweet cheeks!!
Have a lovely week, and a fab Easter,
Jo xx
Hiya Faye. This is so sweet. Such a pretty easter card you have made!

Ah lovely Easter chicks, and gorgeous greens... so cute Fluff! Don't be drinking too much of that 'bubbles drinkie' now will you! Hugs Shelly x
Hi Faye, just visiting to catch up with your latest cards sweetie! They're gorgeous, you've done a wonderful job with these layers, but my especial favourites are your '2 of a kind' cards, stunning!
Hope you're keeping well?
lol Chrissie xx
What a darling card Fluff ! Love those cute chicks ! Great layout too ! Hugs and love from Catherine
They are adorable, my lovely Faye! Fantastic papers and layout and congratulations on all the layers:-) (they are not easy for me either!) Have a lovely day and speak to you later! BIG hugs Delphine xx
Hello Fluff!
Well what a gorgeous card! Agree with everyone else, don't know why you were worried about layers. Professional as ever.
Thanks so much for doing our stamp justice!!
Take care

Haha...you've done layers brilliantly Faye and your card is stunning! I love the fresh spring colours and that you have snuck in my fav papers...I go gaga for Gingham lol! Poor sweet cheeks losing his beans like that...I may just have to send him some more to play with :) Donna x
Love the papers in this Faye! The lace is gorgeous too! Very elegant!
No probs with layers here, missus - this looks absolutely lovely! xx
You have done a wonderful job with all those layers, Faye. Green is not a colour I use that much on my cards, but I must say I love the different shades and patters on yours. And that lace is gorgeous!! x
Hi Faye,
I was on holiday for a week, so that's why it was soooo quiet :)
I see you have been very busy !
Love the cards you have made !
Hugs
Margo
Gorgeous as always, and great to hear what SC is up to!

I wondered how we were gonna get from chicks to beans in one post....but with you, there's always room for the random!! Hee hee. I love your chick card - so cute. (I'd quite like to have a pet chick - only while their little and fluffy though). xx
Hi Faye, fab card - love those colours. Thanks for your Birthday wishes on my blog, I had a lovely weekend. Hope you have a fab week. Wedgie xxx

A wonderful combination of the layers I say, perfect colours and patterns, gorgeous colouring on those cute chicks and all springlike....makes me want to go out and lie on the grass :). LOL re the packing beans and fizzy water, it cracked me up. I have a child that insisted on carrying round bag fulls of conkers for a very long time many years ago :), sweet memories. Hugs, Chris xxx
