Start by opening Adobe Photoshop Elements and click the Edit button.

Click on File > Open (Ctrl+O). Then navigate to the back ground paper you are planning on using.

Repeat the same steps to open your photo, accent paper and page title or embellishment. Click on the tab at the top with the name of your background page so that it appears in the main edit window. You will see the other files you have opened down in your Project Bin.

Now you can just drag and drop the small pictures in you Project Bin on to your page. I am going to start with the pink card stock. As you will see, when you drag and drop it on to your page it fills the entire screen. The plan is to use it as a photo mat, so go ahead and add your pictures and page title or embellishment.

Now in the Layers menu click on the paper you plan to use as your photo mat. You can now grab the boxes on corners and sides to size it down or stretch it as needed. Just push enter when it looks how you want it to apply the transformation. If you need to change the size of your photo you can follow the same steps.

Feel free to move your picture or elements around as needed to make it look just how you want it to and that is it – you are done. Now all you need to do is save your image. Go to File > Save As (ShifCtrl+S) and save your image as a PSD in you’re My Scrapbook Pages Folder. You can then go to File > Save As (ShifCtrl+S) and this time save it as a JPG.
