Happy Mid-November, CSI Investigators! We're back with beautiful inspiration for our second November Case File.
Don't worry if you haven't had time to solve the first Case yet because both challenges are open until the 4th of December (and beyond--see note below)
PRIZES
CSI has been running our challenges for 11 years, since 2012, and our savings have dwindled over the years, so we no longer have the ability to provide a monthly gift certificate, but we do have enough to give away a prize every 4 months this year, so we'll be awarding a $20 (U.S. dollars) gift certificate to your favorite online craft store (must take Paypal) to one lucky player according to the following schedule--so the more you play, the more chances you'll have.

January - April Case Files will be awarded on or after May 4
May - August Case Files will be awarded on or after September 4
October - December Case Files will be awarded on or after January 4
You will see the customary due date on the Case Files because I'll check those for guest designers, but feel free to go back and play with Case Files that have expired. As long as they're in the albums by the May, September, and January dates listed above, you'll be eligible for the prize.
We'll also be inviting some players whose work catches our eye to serve as Guest Detectives along the way.
CASE FILES
Fall is in full swing here in Maryland, and November is the month we count our blessings. We've got a Halloween-themed Case File for all those Halloween pictures you took last night, and a Thanksgiving-themed challenge for our upcoming celebration. As always, you don't have to scrap these topics. Draw your own inspiration from The Scene on the Case File, or you can use the traditional clues, which can be found at the bottom of this blog post.

The traditional CSI clues can be found on our Facebook page in the first entry under the album. Just click on the Case File images above. They are also posted at the bottom of this reveal.
To submit your layouts, click on the Case Files in our sidebar, which will bring you to the individual albums in our Facebook group.
INSPIRATION
And now, are you ready for some serious inspiration? A reminder of our second Case File...
CSI DETECTIVES
Here's what our design team created with this month's first Case File. We will share creations for our other Case File on the 15th of the month.
CASE FILE CLUES
Choose as many or as few as you are inspired to use! You don't have to use all of the categories of clues. Use what inspires you, or challenge yourself to use as many clues as you can. Or just use the image to inspire you as you wish!

We trust we've provided enough clues for you to solve the Cases! You have until December 4, 2023 (and beyond--read about this in the Prizes section), to solve both cases. We can't wait to see what you'll create! Upload your creations in our Facebook Group (album links in sidebar).
