Here's a great layout from another newbie.....

Shelee Lark - One of a kind Holly

Hi Shazza,

Here is my entry for the Sherlock Holmes challenge. I have 
tried to meet all the criteria by using various shades of 
teal, I have two metal embellishments (the flower and 
dragonfly) but I put the photo in a rectangle instead of 
the title. Hope that was OK.

I was inspired by the rectangles going down each side of 
the poster and had a little experiment of cutting the PP 
into windows to reveal the teal colour underneath!

Cheers!
Shelee :)

What a great entry Shelee, I bet your pleased with your 
end result. I love the little windows that open up 
revealing the teal color underneath. This page is very 
eye catching and I love your black and white photo of 
Holly. Well done! - Shazza
