        <![CDATA[ Hello there everyone, As I&#39;ve said I&#39;m an absolute beginner who has fallen in love with all the fabulous oriental card making, CD&#39;s (esp
Joanna&#39;s) beautiful papers, gorgeous embellishments etc, that I&#39;ve seen. I&#39;d like to think I&#39;m a little creative and already have some ideas
for cards, but have no idea where to start with equipment and stuff. Are there some good books (Or do I really need to read them)? What tools am I really going
to need/use, where&#39;s the... ]]>

somehow or other I&#39;ve lost the PMs that you and some other ladies sent to me on Sat/Sun so I wasn&#39;t being rude in not replying.....just a completely

			<description><![CDATA[ HI Marie
<br>
<br>
Welcome all i can do is say what everyone else has, the main thing is not to be affraid to have a go try things out and if you need more help just post a
message or if you want to send a pm to someone and ask. I think most of us have an image gallery on our profiles if you need inspiration. I started by getting
some paks of pree scord cards and some stickers I admitt some of the early efforts looked a bit ropey and some of my efforts now still do but you keep on going

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Marie. Welcome to the forum.
<br>
<br>
I started crafting by watching Create and Craft while recovering from a bad MS relapse. I got loads of hints and tips from there and then took the plunge.
<br>
<br>
I first bought double sided tape (DST), tweezers, scissors, wet glue a box a paper and card from the Papermill Shop and some sparkly bits (I can&#39;t resist
sparkle!!). My Mam and Dad bought me small guillotine which was invaluable, but now I&#39;ve bought a large rotary cutter as I use... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I too bought a kit to start me off but it is still in the cupboard unused since I discovered Joanna&#39;s cds. With a cd you can make a complete card without
anything extra apart from card stock and mirri board. scissors or good cutting device and glue. I would also agree with the free downloads some of them are
brilliant and give lots of choice.. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Marie, welcome to the forum, sorry to hear you are bedded at the moment, you can get a crafters lap tray, with a light etc attached, not sure who sells
them, Ebay would be a good place to start, you have a lot of good tips from everyone, so now you just have to go with the flow, but be warned, its very
addictive, but in the nicest possible way. I started a couple of years ago with an A4 pack from a friend, since then the pack has overflowed into drawers, onto
shelves and over the dining... ]]></description>

previously.  Am a total craft addict now and haven&#39;t seen the kitchen table for over a year (sometimes it gets cleared for Christmas, but then I can&#39;t
find a thing <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image"> ).  Looking forward to seeing your creations.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Marie, and a very warm welcome to the forum.  Never be afraid to ask as many questions as you like - someone out there will have the answers.  Even
experienced crafters have problems they need help with!
<br>
<br>
Don&#39;t think I can add to what the others have said - just have fun.  You can create cards out of almost anything, but beware - you will find that you will
soon &quot;need&quot; loads of other crafting materials (hee hee!).  It&#39;s a disease which we all catch!

having a bit of a bad relapse of my problem, for the mo I&#39;m stuck in bed. So it looks like Joanna&#39;s and C &amp; C&#39;s shopping sites, ebay, hubby

			<description><![CDATA[ I started with buying a mixed pack of all sorts of things from e-bay - it contained some cards, envelopes, toppers, bits of ribbon, buttons, few
embellishments, paper flowers, etc. Not all of it was particularly useful (then) but it got me started with the basics..............
<br>
<br>
Most of what I learnt was from C&amp;C I have to say - get the ideas and then adapt to suit your abilities and your stash and your pocket.
<br>
<br>
Good luck.

you&#39;ll need tools like a craft mat - scissors, maybe decoupage snips, tweezers etc - another possibility is to treat yourself to a DVD that teaches how to

			<description><![CDATA[ Welcome ... crafting is a bit of a bottomless pit as there is always something you want or need. I would suggest getting yourself a couple of crafting
magazines, they often have a list of things for beginners. You will need a cutting mat and knife, scissors, glue, foam pads, double sided tape, steel edged
rular and card stock. Maybe buy a kit to start with? I am sure many of us did that at the very begining, you will see then what you like to do as there are so
many aspects of crafting.
