[Debbi Tehrani]

Happy Friday! Our gallery continues to grow as Gifts from the Garden Month saunters along, thanks to all our wonderful members planting their beautiful layouts here at CSI!

We've been enjoying the gorgeous work contributed by the designer's of this month's generous sponsor, C'est Magnifique Kit Club as our sponsor this month.  The C'est Magnifique design team are here again as our Guest Detectives, and their inspiration is très magnifique! Returning this week are Camilla Ekman, Nadia Cannizzo, and Valerie Serfozo. Anna Sigga, our May Special Agent, is back with another fabulous creation, as is our very talented team of Special Investigators for May: Ashley Horton,  Gayle Price, Helen Wallace, and Jennifer Snyder.

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

We have a delightful little gift from the garden for you this week and a very fun  Case File for you to solve. 

As always, Michele has created an fantastic set of printables 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. 20. The whimsical inspiration image comes from Annie Bach's Etsy Shop, Lulu Froot. So excited to learn that Annie Bach will be publishing a children's book next year! (Remember to scroll all the way down for RGB codes, color descriptions, and more thorough explanations of the Evidence and Testimony.)
