WELCOME

The Roman poet Horace is attributed with saying that a picture is a poem without words. Well, that's what we like to think too, although some words will be allowed (what's a card without the occasional sentiment). Welcome to the Without Words Challenge where we want you to create clean and simple cards, focusing on the image without the distractions of too many embellishments. We hope you enjoy this challenge as much as we do!

THE WITHOUT WORDS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED

NOVEMBER: Preparing for Christmas

Happy Monday everyone, and welcome to a new month and a new challenge at WITHOUT WORDS

As the big day is getting ever nearer (I'm scared how close it really is) we are all frantically making Christmas cards so this month we are helping you build up your stash with our theme of PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS
We would like to see your entries featuring Christmas preparations

Our wonderful sponsor this month is Elaine from QUIXOTIC PAPERIE
with a £10 store voucher

 Some of the sharp-eyed amongst you may have noticed from the last challenge that we have a new Word Bird on board but this is her first official outing.  Many of you will already know the very talented Annette (Netty's Cards) and for those who don't then you are in for a treat.  I had been after Annette for the team for a while and gradually I wore her down, lol!  Welcome hun.

I feel that I need to have this tattooed on my forehead at the moment - pleeeeeeease follow the requirements for the challenge, we had so many entries last month that didn't comply with our simple rules and they had to be discounted.  We are going to be quite strict with this in the future.

You may use a sentiment

So, here are the inspiration pieces from those super talented Birds
