Thanks to me and artisteer, I was able to create a new blog layout :) This is much better than what I had before!!

-Open bench. image --> rotate --> flip horizontal then re-size by 43%. Place on tag behind the frame.

-Open cat. Re-size by 35% and rotate slightly to the left for the kitty to fit nicely on the bench. Place above the bench.

-Open grass. Paste on tag behind the bench and cat then duplicate. move the duplicate layer above the bench and cat --> move slightly up so it looks like the bench is sitting inside the grass. Click on the magic wand (in your panel on the side) --> select the frame --> click inside the frame --> selections --> select all --> modify --> expand --> 5 --> ctrl+shift+i --> press delete on both grass layers --> deselect.

-Open fence. Re-size by 32% and duplicate twice. Move one fence to the far left, one in the center, and one to the far right. Overlap each one so it looks like one fence then merge the 3 layers together.

-Open flower8. re-size by 25% --> place on tag behind the bench towards the left side of it

-Open boots. image --> rotate --> flip horizontal then re-size by 25%. place behind the frame above all the other layers

-Open bird3. re-size 20% and paste above the fence layer so it looks like it's standing there.

-Open sparkles. place onto tag above the paper layer then click on the magic wand (in your panel on the side) --> select the frame --> click inside the frame --> selections --> select all --> modify --> expand --> 5 --> ctrl+shift+i --> press delete

-Open butterflies. image --> rotate --> custom --> 25 deg right. re-size by 90%. place onto tag and duplicate then adjust the two layers to your liking --> merge the two layers

-Open flowers2. re-size by 52%. place above frame in upper right corner. rotate original flowers2 to 90 deg then image --> rotate --> 90 deg left --> place that layer in the upper left corner. rotate original flowers2 again 90 deg left and place that layer in the bottom left corner. rotate original flowers2 one more time 90 deg left and place it on the bottom right corner.
