Case File No. 17 {Case Closes on May 6, 2012}

[Debbi Tehrani]

Happy Friday! Wow, did April fly by, or what? We are wrapping up National Poetry Month this week, and our inspiration image was chosen with Astronomy Week in mind. 

We would like to thank Sarah Hill, owner of The Paper Bakery Kit Club, and her fabulous design team for sponsoring us and serving as Guest Detectives this month. Their creations have been truly inspiring, and we just loved how they all jumped in enthusiastically and played with us every week! Joining us this week are Sarah Hill, Angela Gutshall, and Erin Yamabe. CSI Detective Tina Walker is also on the Paper Bakery design team.

We also want to thank our Special April Guest Detective, Sarah Klemish. Our Special Investigators for April, Adrienne Ford, Heather Jacob, Helena Virpi, and Tracee Provis, are rounding out the month with absolutely gorgeous creations once again. 

Please use the links to visit all these ladies' pages in the Guest Detective forum to say hi and hear how they responded to our Interrogation.

As always, Michele has created an awesome set of CSI Coordinates for you! 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 are you 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. 15.
