Welcome to CSI and to the reveal of our 73rd Case File! The inspiration shared by our members in the gallery continually dazzles us, and we hope that you will be inspired to play with us again this week.

If you haven't yet seen the artists who were placed Under Surveillance this past week, be sure to scroll down on this front page. We have added an archive in the forums so that you can always check out the Under Surveillance line-ups for past Case Files, and we've created a permanent page for our Star Witnesses.

We are super-excited to have Flying Unicorn as our main sponsor this month! 

Flying Unicorn.. it’s about One of a Kind. We offer an incredible selection of products for all paper crafting artists. Our Kit of the Month is filled with the latest and greatest and includes an off-the-page project to keep your creative muse flowing! Come visit our forums, a hot and happening place which includes monthly challenges, tips, techniques and friendships that last!

Flying Unicorn is one of our very generous permanent sponsors, donating a gift certificate to a CSI winner each month. This month, they will be offering not only the gift certificate--and not only a prize, but FOUR wonderful prizes! Here's the prize that our fourth winner will receive:

We are also pleased to announce a second permanent sponsor who will be offering a wonderful prize of beautiful ribbons and trims each week to our Star Witness.

Scrapbook Fantasies  is a Scrapbooking, Papercrafts and Mixed Media business opened in November 2002 in Gladstone, Queensland.  The well stocked store receives new stock daily, and supports a boutique style online store here.  The owner Alicia runs Weekly Challenges and many other competitions giving away over $250 dollars in store vouchers every month.  The Gallery  hosts thousands of customer creations, and is available for viewing without login. Parcels are posted within Australia at a flat $6.50 or the actual postage rate (whichever is the lesser), or FREE for orders over $100.  International parcels are posted at the actual postage rate.

We thank all of our sponsors for their generous prize donations to our  CSI Members!

Tell Your Story. It's our tagline, and here at CSI, it's one of our missions to get our members to delve deeper into journaling--to document the meaningful bits and pieces that make up our lives. We would like to shine a special spotlight each week on a member who did an exceptional job telling their story. Click here to see an archive of all our Star Witnesses.

We have two Star Witness this week! I used Random.org to choose the winner of the Star Witness prize, and Ulyth's number came up.

Weekly Journal April 24 by Patrice

We loved the slice-of-life journaling on Patrice's page. We enjoyed this little peek into her week and how she managed to capture so many different elements of her life during one week on one page. What a fun page this will be to look back at in the future--it's those little details about life that we might forget if we don't stop and record them!

Today by Ulyth

What a wonderful approach to the journaling on Ulyth's page! She took the inspiration word "Today" and documented all the things she learned. We can envision using this approach on our own pages...looking at the photos and realizing how much we can learn about ourselves and the people we love if we just stop and think. Thank you for sharing these little pieces of your life with us, Ulyth!

Each week, five layouts that caught our eye will be chosen to feature as our "Most Wanted." With so many amazing layouts in the gallery, it was incredibly hard to narrow the "lineup" down to five, but here they are, in no particular order. (Please click on the title beneath the layout to take you to the layout in the gallery where you can leave the artists some comments.)
