April Case Files - Mid-Month Reveal | Deadline: May 4 (and Beyond)

Greetings, CSI Investigators! We're back with beautiful inspiration for our second April Case File. 

No worries if you haven't yet played with our first scrapbooking challenge. Both Case Files stay open through May 4 (and beyond--see below).

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 April Showers and Earth Day with our Case Files. Our first Case File image was selected by CSI Detective Cassie Wiscarson, and our second image was chosen by CSI Detective Lacey Robinson.

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.
