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

SEPTEMBER: For The Boys

Happy Monday!  Yes, we are a wee bit behind because of the way the calender fell but it is the first Monday of September and that means another new challenge for you at Without Words!

You lot obviously don't get your five-a-day of fruit and veg!  We were low on numbers in August but a HUGE thanks to those who did enter, really high standard of entries, which will make the choices even more difficult.

I have a feeling that this month's theme will have you all running for the hills.  When you get there, can you send the Word Birds back to me please?

FOR THE BOYS

Yes, we want your makes for that difficult species, the men (or boys)

Perhaps a super prize from our super sponsor might make you feel happier

Thank you Christina, love this little chap!

Never let it be said that we don't provide you with enough inspiration!

That just leaves us with one thing to do, and that's rummage around in the veggie patch to find our Winner and Top 3

AUGUST: Harvest Home (Fruit and/or Veg)

It's AUGUST chaps, so that means another new challenge from us here at Without Words!

The fruit harvest is on, and gardens are overflowing with summer goodness so our theme this month is
Harvest Home (Fruit & Vegetables)

Please note, August will be a short month for the challenge because of holidays - closing date will be August 27th - we'll be back to normal with a full month in September

Before you all go off into a complete panic, I bet you have a stamp somewhere that has either some fruit or some vegetables, large or small, featured on it - you may not even realise it!

Our sponsor this month is the ever wonderful
