And don’t forget—Case File No. 460 is still wide open for sleuthing! Both mysteries close on September 4, 2025, so whether you crack just one or go full detective mode and solve them both, we can’t wait to see your creative evidence!

Our Detective Squad is always hot on the trail of standout scrappers! If your layout leaves us awestruck, you just might get deputized as a Guest Detective. We’ll be combing through the case files on the 4th of each month, so make sure your evidence—er, layout—is filed in the album by then. And don’t worry—our cold cases are always open, so feel free to revisit old clues whenever inspiration strikes. Crack enough crafty cases and leave a trail of wow-worthy work… and you could find yourself recruited to our elite Design Team Task Force!
