Case File No. 16 {Case Closes on April 29, 2012}

[Debbi Tehrani]

Happy Friday! What a beautiful reveal we have for you this evening! We continue National Poetry Month, as you will see in the journaling from several of the designers, but did you also know it's National Karaoke Week? Well, we're celebrating that fun occasion this week too!

The Paper Bakery designers are back again with fabulous inspiration. Joining us again this week are Sarah Hill, owner of the Paper Bakery, Amanda Johnson, Angela Gutshall, Erin Yamabe, and Mary Ann Jenkins. CSI Detective Tina Walker is also on the Paper Bakery design team.

Our Special April Guest Detective, Sarah Klemish, is back this week with another beautiful layout, as are our Special Investigators, Adrienne Ford, Heather Jacob, Helena Virpi, and Tracee Provis. 

We hope you will visit these ladies' pages in the Guest Detective forum to say hi (click their names to link you to their pages).

As always, Michele has prepared a beautiful set of CSI Coordinates for you! Several of us have used them again this week. 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. 

So get ready for this week's challenge. Grab your forensics kits, CSI members, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open case File No. 16.

(Remember to scroll all the way down for RGB codes, color descriptions, and more thorough explanations of the Evidence and Testimony.)
