January: Dreaming of Spring

Happy New Year Everybody !

Well 2015 is upon us, and all the Word Birds hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year.

Welcome to January at Without Words and this month the theme is:

Dreaming of Spring
(Well, we can be optimistic right?!)

It's up to you how you interpret this, but remember we are a Clean and Simple challenge, so you need to resist adding those embellishments that Santa may have brought you, and make sure you include a hand-coloured image as the main focus.

Our sponsor this month is
Crafter's Companion with a £10 Store Voucher:




And the Word Birds have come up with some super inspiration to get you all dreaming of Spring.

December: Christmas (Modern Look)

Yoo-hoo!  Happy 1st of December to you.  Not long to go now folks and if, like me, you are still glued to your craft desk, this is your chance to get a few more made.

Welcome to December at Without Words, and our theme this time is

Christmas (Modern Look)

It's up to you how you interpret this, but remember to keep it CAS with a hand coloured image.

Sadly last month we had several over embellished cards and as I have mentioned before, we cannot consider these entries when choosing the winners.  It's time to enforce the threat, so in future, any entries that do not comply with our simple rules will be disqualified and deleted.  Sorry it has come to this, but it's getting out of control.

Now that's over with, let's get on to the fun part.
