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

And Relax: Hobbies & Leisure

Happy Monday everyone, and welcome to a new challenge at
Without Words!

We loved what you did with our 9 to 5 theme last month, but all work and no play isn't good for anyone, so this month our theme is
And Relax: Hobbies & Leisure

As always, the Word Birds have come up trumps - they really are an incredibly talented bunch, it would be lovely if you could visit their individual blogs to share the love as they do these inspiration pieces just for you.
