This month, Creative Embellishments is sponsoring both CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration and Stuck?! Sketches. Both challenge sites invited our team to guest design for them this month, so I actually have 2 layouts to share in the post. 😀

First up, I have my take on case 170 which I combined with the July 1st Stuck?! Sketch:
