Case File No. 28 {Case Closes on July 22, 2012}

[Debbi Tehrani]

Happy Friday! We continue our celebration of National Ice Cream month with another delicious Case File! The palette on this week's Case File is extremely versatile, as you will see when you look at how all of the CSI Detectives and guest designers solved it.

We are so excited to have Echo Park Paper Company sponsoring CSI in July! Echo Park's many collections are full of fun, happy colors and patterns that make them so versatile and a joy to use. Be sure to visit Echo Park's blog for loads of inspiration. Our July winner will receive a collection kit of their choice, and there are so many wonderful collections to choose from! You will see some of the design team using Echo Park products throughout the month. See if you can spot who has used them this week!

Our July Special Agent, Jill Sprott, is back with another fabulously creative layout! Our July  team of Special Investigators will wow you again this week. Di Garling, Jacynthe Loubier, Lindy Gillespie, and Yumi Takasaki all solved this week's Case File with creativity and flair!  

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."

As always, Michele has created a delectable 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. 

This week's Case File is inspired by a fantastical and imaginative image from Jon Reinfurt. This yummy image is chock full of inspiration!
