August Case Files | Mid-Month Reveal

How quickly August is zooming by! Now that we're halfway through the month, we're excited to bring you some inspiration for our second August Case File and our Cold Case File.

Don't forget you have all month to participate in all three of our challenges. You can see inspiration for our first August Case File here.


SPONSORS 

This month, we have seven generous sponsors donating prizes. Click here to read more about our sponsors and the prizes they are donating. Winners will be selected randomly from all of our players, with a few exceptions where sponsors have asked us to choose from certain geographic regions.




CASE FILES 

We're celebrating travel with our August Case Files. Draw your own inspiration from The Scene or you can use the traditional clues, which can be found at the bottom of this blog post.

Our first August Case File is inspired by the gorgeous image from digital artwork by Bloomsical. Don't you love the purple? Feel free to add blue to the mix or whatever strikes your fancy!



The beautiful, dreamy image in our second August challenge is by watercolor artist Heatherlee Chan.



And of course we have our stash-busting Cold Case features a whimsical Scene by French illustrator Veronique Petit.



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 above or in our sidebar, which will bring you to the individual albums in our Facebook group.
