This month's inspiration kit was from Scraps of Darkness. You can see photos of the inspiration kit HERE, and you can also check out my blog post HERE that shows the contents of (and the logic behind) my counterfeit kit. Here are a couple of projects that I've made with my kit.
Here is the sketch from Scraps of Darkness:
And here is my layout:
It's hard to see in the photo, but I finally used my Perfect Pearls mists! I sprayed the background and the brown chipboard flourish with Interference Red mist. So pretty when the light hits it!
I also made a couple of cards (of course!) The first uses supplies from my kit plus a cute little button card stamp from Unity Stamp Co. I'm embarrassed to say that I've had this stamp for a few months and didn't know what it was, lol. I just saw a new set from PTI that had a similar stamp and realized what it was! Now it is one of my favorites. :)
The next card was actually the first project that I made using my kit, back at the beginning of the month. The card base is made from the postage stamp die cuts (from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge). The flower and sentiment stamps are from Ippity. If you would like these stamp sets, I happen to know a *fabulous* Ippity chick. ;) Plus, I think I finally achieved the vintage look with these two cards!
I am so very glad that you had a chance to hop along with us today. I'd love it if you left me a comment, too! Your next stop on the hop is the amazingly talented Marianne!

Glad to hear you broke out your mists for this challenge. Great layout - love the little details - like the stamped (??) tulips on the left hand side.
great LO and what great cards.
Oooh I like that postage stamp die cut - so fun. Both cards have such lovely layers and details, they're beautiful. I liked your take on the sketch - congrats on using the mists.
Love the idea of putting the stamps into your kit, I'm lifting that idea for next month!
I love them all! What a nice page with your sister's pic in it. I looked at the Papercrafts link on FB and saw your card. Before I saw the name, I said out loud, OOh that's pretty! I like that! Then I saw your name! LOL- I always love your designs, Sherri! -Kathy
Love your layout and your cards -- I think I'll have to whip up some cards soon as well. Very cool!
I can't pick a favorite because all your cards and your layout are all amazing!
WOW! I love love love the way you did the title on the tags on your layout. I DROOL over Unity but it is so expensive (at least to me) so I will live through your awesome use of their stamps!

What a great layout and those cards are adorable! Looks like you've got vintage down:) I love the papers you used, too!
Yay for using your mists! A fun layout I can tell. Thanks for sharing.
Great layout and card. I have just added mists to my collection and can't wait to use them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Congrats on the guest Counterfeiting DT spot!Look forward to seeing what you do this month!
Beautiful work! I always love it when I see something that reminds me to use something that I've not seen before on one of my Cricut carts. I've never noticed the postage stamp cut on Create a Critter. I'm bookmarking your blog so I can continue to admire your work.
By the way, congratulations on getting your degree. I hope you get your own classroom very soon. I retired after teaching for 35 years--wouldn't take a million for any of those years. Being a teacher is something special.
Just stopping by from the Counterfeit Kit blog. After seeing your projects here I'm really looking forward to your guest design spot this month. And, I must say that I love the way you 'built' last months kit. That's super inspiring!
