Case File No. 29 {Case Closes on July 29, 2012}

Happy Friday! Summer's in full swing here in Maryland, and I don't know about you, but I could use an ice cream right about now with the heat waves we've been having. Our third Case File celebrating National Ice Cream Month is cheerful and yummy, and we're sure you'll savor 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 a fun and fabulous layout! Our talented team of Special Investigators will inspire you again this week. Di Garling, Jacynthe Loubier, Lindy Gillespie, and Yumi Takasaki all solved this week's Case File with gorgeous pages!

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 delicious set of printables for you! Check out that cute little journaling jar! If you ever see Michele around, please tell her how much you love and appreciate the CSI Coordinates.

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. 29.

Wow! I love this case so much and the printables are just to die for! But I don't think I'll be able to take part in this challenge as I'll be away on vacation this week :'-( This is so sad!
