February: Je t'aime

Hello folks, and welcome to February and another challenge here at Without Words!

I must thank my fellow Word Bird Annette for holding the fort for me last month while I endured computer problems - I think you will agree that she did a great job.

Before we get on to February, I would like to offer a huge and warm welcome to our newest followers - great to have you on board and we are looking forward to seeing your entries over the coming months.  We have some fun themes on the way so there is no excuse for not getting colourful with us!

So, our theme for this month, and what else could it be, is
Je t'aime
It does not have to be a Valentine card, but definitely needs to show some loving.  It could be for your partner, your best friend, a parent, or even a pet, but we would like to see you getting all loved up!

Our sponsor for February is MAKE IT CRAFTY with a $15 voucher for our winner

Make It Crafty

And what would our challenge be without some stunning inspiration for you from the Word Birds.  Take a deep breath, here it comes:








Not the full set but I think you have to agree, these Birds are in love with love!

Please remember our easy rules folks
A clean and simple card with the focus on a hand coloured image
Minimal (or none at all) embellishments
You may use a sentiment

So to our winner and Top Three Four from January - you really were dreaming of spring with this one!

Winner of the Crafters Companion voucher is
Jayne @ Tea Cake & Crafting
and yes Jayne, now I know what a fountain card is - please email me, Squirrel, to claim your voucher code

and our amazing Top 4 are

Oh to be able to dive into a large tub of spring flowers!

Pushing it with the embellies Eileen but your colourwork is gorgeous

Beautiful Spring colours, and a yummy picnic to match

Meg, the fab colours on Daisy just made me think of crocus flowers


Looking forward to seeing your love themed makes for February, mwah!

Hugs to all
Squirrel & The Word Birds xx
