Welcome to the Creative Postcard Club
December 2009

Due to lack of members not completing assignments, the CPC will take a hiatus until Spring 2010. We are a group of professional designers, illustrators, design students and creatives alike from around the world who enjoy corresponding through our own postcard creations. Bookmark our site and visit often to see how each creative handled their postcard design based on a unique assignment. If you would like to be notified of updates to our site, please send us your e-mail and type "Updates" in the subject. Send to Postcardclub@aol.com. Visit the join link for more information on becoming a member of our creative community.
