The detectives at CSI are back on the case with a brand-new investigation that’s sure to make your creative style sparkle! Our second October Case File is inspired by Wear Something Gaudy Day, so grab your boldest colors, your most flamboyant embellishments, and let’s have some fun solving this vibrant new challenge!
In this mid-month reveal, our stylish Detectives are hitting the runway with their inspiration for Case File No. 465. Both cases close on November 4, 2025, so grab your magnifying glass and your most fabulous stash, follow the clues, and strut your creativity before the deadline!
Our Detective Squad is always hot on the trail of standout scrappers! If your layout leaves us awestruck, you just might get deputized as a Guest Detective. We’ll be combing through the case files on the 4th of each month, so make sure your evidence—er, layout—is filed in the album by then. And don’t worry—our cold cases are always open, so feel free to revisit old clues whenever inspiration strikes. Crack enough crafty cases and leave a trail of wow-worthy work… and you could find yourself recruited to our elite Design Team Task Force!
At CSI, we like to have fun with our Case File themes. October has us looking up—toward skies dotted with balloons and wardrobes that refuse to whisper. This month’s Case Files are inspired by Balloons Around the World Day and Wear Something Gaudy Day—perfect for documenting celebrations, travel snapshots, quiet moments that feel lighter than air, or fabulously over-the-top stories told in bold patterns and shiny trims. Case File No. 464 leans into that hot-air, uplifted vibe—think airy layers, stitched “flight” trails, soft textures, map pieces, and gentle movement that suggest wonder and travel rather than loud color. Case File No. 465 is your permission slip to go big: loud prints, clashing patterns, metallics, sequins, and embellishments that celebrate playful excess.
But remember—you don’t have to stick strictly to balloons or gaudiness to solve the case. Let The Scene inspire your story, or use the traditional clues at the bottom of this post to guide your investigation. However you choose to play, we can’t wait to see where your creativity takes flight!
