Happy Friday! How beautiful our gallery has bloomed this May, thanks to all our wonderful members planting their beautiful layouts here at CSI! We round out Gifts from the Garden Month with a lovely palette.

We want to thank our awesome sponsor,  C'est Magnifique Kit Club for their generosity in sponsoring us and we want to also thank the C'est Magnifique design team for their gorgeous contributions. Camilla Ekman, Nadia Cannizzo, and Valerie Serfozo are joining us again for our last week of May.

Anna Sigga, our May Special Agent, is back with another beautiful creation, as is our very talented team of Special Investigators for May: Ashley Horton, Gayle Price, Helen Wallace, and Jennifer Snyder.  

We thank all of these talented and inspiring designers for joining us this month!

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."
