Case File No. 10 {Case Closed on March 18, 2012}

[Debbi Tehrani]

Happy Friday, CSI Suspects!

We are back with another awesome Case File for our March Winds theme. Our palette, evidence, and testimony are inspired by a dramatic image called The Wind Dancer by the amazing Icelandic Graphic Designer and Digital Artist Olof Erla.

We are delighted to have Words or Whatever as our March sponsor, and we're so happy to have the WOW design team as our Guest Detectives this month! This week, we have Wendy Smith and Susan Longman joining us with amazing inspiration. You can meet Wendy and Susan in the Guest Detective forum.

Our team of Special Investigators is back with gorgeous work to inspire you, as is our Special March Guest Detective, Melinda Thompson. You can meet all of these wonderfu ladies in the Guest Detective forum, where we've interrogated them and shared links to their blogs.

In case you haven't heard, we are having a design team call. You can find out all the details here. If you think you would like to be a CSI Detective, you will want to get cracking on this case!

So are you ready for the opening of this week's Case File? Get out your forensics kits, CSI members, and prepare for some serious sleuthing as we uncover Case File No. 10...
