Hi 

Wow, it's a new Decade - 2010!

So what does this decade have in store for you?  Have you made any New Year Resolutions? I would love to be able to scrap more - make more time for me, but honestly I don't see that happening much this year.  But I can only dream.

So did Santa treat you well? I hope that you were all spoilt rotten.

What does 2010 have instore for County Papercraft?

Next month we will be introducing a new Design Team Member... "Wonder who it is going to be?" We are also introducing new Blog Challenges, Sketches, and competitions. A big year in store.  Sadly we are saying goodbye to our Monthly Designer Kit Competition - but don't fret - we will still be having our Designer Kits and Add-ons Kits available and we will be still giving away kits - but just in a different form!

Our Designer Kits have gone from strength to strength. I am sure you will all agree that the products available in the kits are well worth purchasing.

We will not be having a mid monthly newsletter - just so our Designers can recoup, recover and rest up.  Rest assured we will be back in February with the new Designer Kit release and our 2 newsletters per month.


 
Stay safe 'n' happy scrapping

Blog Sketches

This year, the Designer's thought that they would have a go at creating some sketches for the readers of the blog.  So each week we will be posting a new sketch by one of the Designers - and hopefully a layout using the sketch.  But that depends on the busy schedule of the Designers - But we promise you there will be a SKETCH each week.  So why not jump on over to the BLOG and check out each week's sketch.
