Be Inspired Challenge #60 Winners

Hello and Happy New Year!!!!  So sorry I am late with this post!!!  It's time to announce the winners from our last Be Inspired Challenge!!!  We were so honored to see so many beautiful creations linked up to the blog for the last time.  Don't worry if you didn't get a chance to play along, The Alley Way Stamps will be holding a monthly Anything Goes Challenge, in which you can use any of your Alley Way Stamps products in any new creation and link it up for a chance to win goodies!  With that said, let's take a look at some favorites from this challenge first...

Check out this gorgeous and fun card created using the Holiday Sparkles, True Colors, and Ta-da sets, on one super cute and fun shaped card.  This card was created by Debbie from Indy's Designs, and we just love her mixing and matching of our stamp sets...

Next we have a card that kept us giggling.  We just love the way Kaylee from 104 Cards got this little birdy all tangled up in lights.  Using the Chick Magnet and Jolly Holiday Stamp Sets together was genius!

This next favorite is a real doozy, because it is so beautifully done, fun, and super creative!  Created by Jaklena from Everyday Creation, we were totally wowed when we saw the F-la-la set being used this way...

Congratulations!!!  Please feel free to grab your badge here to display on your blog!

And now for our winner of two stamp sets.... drum roll please.....

We couldn't get over the use of colors, layering, and just design of this card.  Congratulations Tammy from Tammy's Spot, because this card is absolutely gorgeous.  The Chill Out and the All Wrapped Up Stamp Sets are beautifully mixed on here...

  Here is your winner's badge to display on your blog:

Chrissie here! I was inspired by the beautiful tree and snowflakes in the picture, so  I used Jolly Holiday along with Holiday Sparkles and Making Holidays Bright to create my card.

Hi, Tanja here with a little shaker card filled with fake snow. The bird inside is from Bird Brain. The stripes are made with distress ink. Happy friday!

Hi!! Dana here! Its a busy week for me, its finals this week and next! So i had to make a super quick card!! TAWS sentiment and dies to the rescue!! I got my sentiment from the new More Than Words set!

Hello!  It's Tracy here and I was inspired by both the pink shades and snowflakes in the inspiration photos.  I used the Snow Daze set for the snowflakes and the More Than Words set for the sentiment.

Sabine here. Hi there, this is my take on the beautiful BIC inspiration picture. I was inspired by  the white Christmas tree with some color and the snowflakes. 

I used my Chill Out set and glossed up the bulbs.

I happen to LOVE nutcrackers, so I kind of love it....and the fact that the nutcracker is gold glittered...um, LOVE!! So, I pulled out some glitter, my glue pad and Winter's Butterflies! My Sentiment is from the With Wandering Awe set.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!!

We have our Guest Designer, June, joining us again! She created a fabulous card, using the All Wrapped Up Set.  She was inspired by the hanging ornaments in the picture to create these AMAZING ornaments containing the birds!

Hi there!  It's Tracy here with my card inspired by the colors of the leaves.  I used the Making Holiday's Bright stamp set and made the circles into hanging ornaments.  

Hi! Dana here and in Michigan its not really fall anymore! Leafs are all down and gone, its snowed and its been really cold! So instead of making a fall card i made a winter card, but i used the glitter leafs as my inspiration or at least the glitter on them! I used some snowflake dies, the sentiment from Let's Chill and the background from Line Upon Line.

Hi it's N@ Ali here with my retake on this beautiful inspiration picture. This time I focused on the shiny leaves, using Pick One and Making Holidays Bright for the sentiment.

Hi, Tanja here. For my Card today I used the stamp set It's fall about you. As you can see I was inspired by the leaves from the inspiration  picture :-)
