We're excited to bring you more inspiration, this time for our second Case File and our Cold Case. If you haven't yet had a chance to crack our first Case, no worries--all three of our Case Files stay open all month and even a few days into the next month----submissions will always be accepted by the 4th of the next month.


SPONSORS 

This month, we have six 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 

May is Gifts from the Garden Month, which is perfect, as all of our spring gardens burst into full bloom! 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.
