February Case Files - Mid-month Reveal | Deadline: March 4 (and Beyond)

Greetings, CSI Investigators! We're back with beautiful inspiration for our second scrapbooking challenge for this month.

Don't forget that both of our Case Files stay open all month (and beyond--see below). We can't wait to see what you'll create!


GUEST DETECTIVE SPOTS

We'll be inviting some players whose work catches our eye to serve as Guest Detectives along the way. We'll investigate the albums on the 4th of the month, so if you're interested in serving as a Guest Detective, make sure you have your layout in the album by the 4th. (But feel free to use past Case Files as inspiration any time.)

And you never know, if your work really wows us, you might even be asked to join our talented design team.



CASE FILES 

This month, we're celebrating Valentine's Day and the last full month of Winter with our Case Files.

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 first Case File...




CSI  DETECTIVES

Here's what our design team created with this month's second Case File.













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!

Testimony Link: February Prompts

Testimony Link: Journal Jar Prompt and 6-Word Memoir

We trust we've provided enough clues for you to solve the Cases! You have until March 4, 2024 (and beyond--read about this in the Guest Detective 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).
