My elder Sister Claire has been for ages trying to get me into art and craft. So far this been without success as I never seem to be able to find any time with such a busy social calendar and the like!

Claire has been involved with crafts for quite a few years and she regularly attends a craft club at our local community center. The club meets once every fortnight and they alternate between, card making, scrapbooking and other weird and wonderful crafts.

Yesterday’s meeting saw the turn of card making and Claire talked me into going along with her to see what it is all about. When I got there I was surprised at just how many people attend the club meetings as we are a relatively small community. Claire pointed out that some of the members are actually from surrounding villages and may travel several miles in order to attend the meetings.

It seemd that there were numerous different facets of carft going on within the card making, for example 3D Decoupage, Rubber Stamping and a process know as Quilling. I particularly liked the effect that people were achieving with quilling but it also looked like this could be quite a difficult task to master.

The 3D decoupage was also very inspiring and I think that I would like to maybe have a go with this if I am to get involved with the art of card making at all. Claire has promised to help me with my first decoupage project and so I will now set about purchasing some craft supplies to get started.
