IC141 ~ Athleta Swimwear {08-16-08}
Inspiration Challenge 141 ~ Athleta Swimwear
To celebrate some of the last days of summer, this week’s inspiration is Athleta Swimwear. They have lots of great patterns and styles to inspire you.
There are lots of fun swimsuits to choose from. I have uploaded three of my favorites, but feel free to use anything from their swimwear collection. Make sure you provide a link to your inspiration when you upload, and please make something new for the challenge.
Use the keyword: IC141 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
My sample ~ Happy Summer
IC141 Gallery
How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

Ooh... I love athleta stuff. I always get their catalogs and think to myself "wow, I could spend money on neat sportswear if I didn't blow all my money on stamps!" Can't wait to get started on this! Thanks for posting it so early!

Absolutely love your challenges, Stef!
Haven't had time to stamp for a while (and am having major withdrawl's, thank you very much!).
Will try to participate despite a killer busy weekend ahead ... if only because this looks like SO MUCH FUN!
Am ever so grateful for the many inspirations you have offered!

Very cute and depressing at the same time. I don't think I've seen a size 2 since I was 20 years old. With 4 kids, a hysterectomy, and gravity working against me at 45 years old, I work way too hard to stay in a 10. I'll try to play this later today. My upline is having a meeting this morning. She's #47 in the company and is #11 in sales. I want to watch her work the crowd. Have a great day.

This was such fun that my mind was all over the place. Unfortunately, all the ideas were squished into one tiny card. I suppose I hit inspiration overload. It may not be the prettiest thing, but I sure had fun playing

I was inspired by the Riptide Collection in the swimwear line. I used my Hanna at the Beach |

I sadly  agree with KY Southern Belle - the days of those swimsuits looking darling on me age gone. Bucking up from the depression of that thought here is my card for the challenge.

I dont know about anyone else, but I'm having real issues getting into the site today! I'll continue to try, but it's taking far too much time. May have to pass.
