March Case Files - Mid-Month Reveal - Deadline: April 4, 2020

March is zippping by and it's feeling like spring here in Maryland! We're excited to bring our mid-month reveal to you, which features the debut of some of our newest Detectives.

For this first reveal, we'll be sharing inspiration from the design team and guest designers for our second Case File as well as our stash-busting Cold Case File (our special Case that challenges you to use up some of your older supplies). Our first March Case File will also stay open until our deadline of April 4. You can see the inspiration for that challenge here.
