Case File No. 12 {Case Closed on April 1, 2012}

[Debbi Tehrani]

Happy Friday, CSI Suspects!

This week we have our very first monochromatic palette, and our Case File is dreamy and magical and perfect for all sorts of stories!

We have Wendy Smith from the Words or Whatever back again this week as our Guest Detective providing the most beautiful inspiration. We are so pleased to have Words or Whatever sponsoring us!

Our special March Guest Detective, Melinda Thompson, is also here again this week with gorgeous inspiration, along with members of this month's team of Special Investigators, Debbi McCue, Ellinor Bergdahl, and Jennifer Shaw.

Please click on the links to visit our Guest Detectives' and Special Investigators' pages to say hi and to see what they've said when we interrogated them!

Have you seen our CSI Coordinates? Michele Singh created these awesome printable patterned papers, images, and journaling spots to coordinate with our Case Files! In case you missed their debut last week, you can still download the CSI Coordinates for Case File No. 11 at the bottom of the reveal thread.

CSI Coordinates can always be found at the bottom of the reveal threads.  Scroll all the way to the bottom, where it says "Attachments." They are just above the reply box. Read about some tips on how to use these cool printables here.

Our gallery has been rocking the past few weeks, and we can't wait to find out who's applying for our design team call!

Are you ready for the next challenge? Grab your forensics kits, CSI Members, because it's time to do some serious sleuthing as we present Case File No. 12.

You picked my favorite colors. Thank you!  My husband recently surprised me by painting our room in almost the same combination of blue/greens. Can't wait to search my stash for possibilities. Hmm or maybe I'll go shopping.

Love all the layouts posted. Gorgeous interpretations!
