2011-10-03T08:58:00.003+10:00

Hiya everyone

i thought i would let everyone know about my father in laws framing business.( Steve Rainbow)

http://www.articulateframing.com.au/index.html

https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Articulate-Framing/202009753167700?sk=wall

Articulate Framing and Articulate Pictures websites have been set up for the purpose of displaying and selling our framing and other services as well as a mixture of artworks from Original Pieces by Local Artists, Framed Prints, Limited Edition Prints, and works being sold on behalf of other clients.

We can supply an assortment of product/services to assist the Artist in preparing/presenting their works for sale.

We are also a Custom Framing Business that can assist anyone in framing their treasured piece of art.

If you wish to have the works couriered to your home, this is at the buyer’s expense and Articulate Framing can arrange this for you.

my father in law recently reopened his business after the floods, please help support him :)

ANYTHING YOU HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED COUNTS!!!!!

So, to clarify, here's what makes a Challenge "Current:"

1. It must have been posted in the Forum on or before 9/7/09 (TODAY!) Anything posted after todays' date will not count toward this Challenge.

Picture to words by devonne: (due Oct. 11)

In this Challenge the object is to look at the picture for the month and then write whatever the picture inspires. You can write a short story, poem, essay, journal type entry or even just a clever caption.

Bom challenge 1 sneak peak:

Card Sketch Challenge:

Welcome to the Card Sketch Challenge. The rules are pretty simple: A sketch will be posted and then you design a card using the design and elements used in the sketch. The sketch does not have to be copied EXACTLY, but we must be able to tell that you got your inspiration from it.
Cards due by Sept. 20th
Have FUN and DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!

Jeans September challenge:

Use a brown paper bag and use it on a scrapbook page. Stick

with the theme...Sweet and simple. Pink would look nice...or

stick with earth tones...Just examples. Have fun and put your page

in the gallery for everyone to be inspired. Smiles, Jean

September Challenge From Margaret:

I want to challenge everyone to have at least 15 LO's added to the gallery by the end of September.
The twist is at least one of them had to be outside their colorbox. For example I always use pinks or bright colors, so I would have to tone it down a bit or use stuff that I never use

When u post a LO link it here so we can all see and so that I can keep up

Thanks and i hope for alot of participation! You never know I just might surprise the winner(s) with a RAK!!
