Rusty I was thinking about this when I got up this morning!! I'm also really tempted with the offer, but wanted some feedback on it first!

Here a a few of my cards that I have done this week, including the one for my Uncle's 60 with a barn dance theme. Am actually pleased with how it has come out and hope he likes it:

Does anyone knoww if the Papermill shop sells pearlescent card ? I am thinking of a trip but don't want to have to go somewhere else too if it doesn't. Thanks

Hi Skiergirl,

When I went to a papermill about a month ago I picked up some pearlescent card, but was limited by the colours they had ie could only see white, off white, cream etc. This was in the 2 stores near Portsmouth.

Hello,
Rusty & Hels102 I'm also wondering about the magazine Helix craft room offer! I've no idea what's in the set, isn't is frustrating?
CT19720 - great cards - I really like the 60th birthday one. I've got to do one very soon & can't decide which of this guy's interests to go with......that's the part I find hardest.
Skiergirl - I've had pearlescent card from the papermill shop - could you phone them before you go & ask what they've got?

Hi ladies, I did go to Helix website and have a nosey at it. There is more info here if it helps anyone

But I just wondered if it was actually any good I don't like buying something to be dissapointed even more so if it will be a gift.

I love your cards CT, they are lovely, the cowboy really works well!

My friend liked her pig card, so I'm really pleased! it is the first homemade card I'v given anyone (well apart from my ex and he had to say he liked them! lol)

Thanks Marg - hope it hasn't been too hard for you to get back into normal life, since coming back from holiday.

I too was interested in the link that Saveapenny posted, but to be honest couldn't really work out what it is or does - anyone know?

EDIT: Thanks for looking up what the Helix Craft station is, i'll wait for any feedback before I take the plunge, as like you I don't want to be disappointed by it.

I haven't seen you can craft so not sure if it is the same sort of stuff but it is prob similar!

I had a quick look at the helix craft room but wasn't sure. was going to go back and have a better look but forgot! if anyone looks into it please let me know...
