If my arm was bent up my back and I had to say who I thought I would win, I think I would have to say Germany. It's a long time since 'The War' so I'm sure I won't get strung up for that!
Talking of Germany, it leads me nicely on to tell you about my week. Of course this wouldn't be my blog without a little mention of Herman, who is, you may remember, a German friendship cake. Well I have not baked any Herman so far this week, as he is not ready to cook with yet. However my interweb meanderings after inspiration about what to do with him led me to find a website and forum devoted to him. If any of you are interested in learning more about him or finding new recipes, or tips or advice, or other people's experiences, then you can find it here at the Herman website. And if you have a good look around the site you might find an article written by me! You might even recognise the photo!
I haven't had a lot of time this week to do much making. Although I did receive through the post a copy of Craft Artist Platinum edition and of course I have been having a little play. I'm enjoying the whole digital art 'thing' even though I prefer to get my hands dirty with paper crafting, and glue and glitter! But even so I thought it might be a nice way of making the thank you notes to send out to all our family and friends who came to the Christening last weekend. It took me quite a while to do, though I am sure with practice I will get the hang of it all. I didn't get the final effect I had wanted but was relatively pleased with what I did achieve, really.
There are some really nice digikits over on Daisy Trail so have a look!
As usual I'll be linking up with Wendy for Handmade Monday, over on Handmade Harbour, which, for those of you who perhaps don't know, is a link party for craft bloggers. There are some fab blogs linked there by some very creative, talented and inspirational crafters, so take a look! I will be doing as soon as the match is over!
All together now...Come on England!
Til next time!

Lovely thank you cards, I'm another not commenting on the football!
A gorgeous Thank You card Helen, love the design.

I am sure that the cards will be gratefully received. it is always extra special to get something that has been handmade and your handmade cards are 100xs better than mine!
Your Thank You card is lovely. Not a football household, so not following it - although with it in the news all of the time, hard not too. Hope we win though. Have a good week.
Can't believe it....lost on penalties again!
Not following the football, but I know it's all over for England now...again.
I think that playing is essential... the thank you notes are lovely and much appreciated, I am sure... I ranted on the train about someone not saying thanks for a gift!
I have so far avoided all the football, and fortunately hubby is not a fan either! Hope you are not too disappointed this morning though.
I have the Craft Artist CD too although haven't used it yet - I'm still not sure about digital crafting.
digital crafting sounds intriguing!
your card is lovely, and such a thoughtful way to say thank you :)
Thank you cards are lovely and I always like to both send and receive them. I have used some digital Art but much prefer to 'get messy'

ps... commiserations on the football X
beautiful card much nicer than the football result in the end xxx
My Other Half was gutted about the football last night - it was very tense - hate penalties!! Hope you have a good week x
Lovely thank you card. It's good to try out different things.
hmmm to the football!
Great card using the computer. It's a good idea to use a different technique.
Well the game is now over as our England chances again bring back the '66 squad. The digi card looks very good
