For Emma to prove that she can do it 
Anyway, I'm making this:
Materials used: Background, image 1, image 2, image 3
1) Open a new canvas at desired size, mine was 450 (w) x 200 (h).
2) Resize the background to a width of 450. (This can be done by going to Image -> Resize)
3) Place the background in a place that looks nice visually, it's different for each person but mine ended up looking like this
4) Next, resize each of the photos. Personally, I put the first image at a height of 300 and the second at a height of 250, the third falling in (after removing the strip at the bottom) at a height of 150.
5) Place all three images to your liking all on *different* layers (Layers -> Add New Layer). Set the first and second images to darken by going to Layers -> Layer Properties. Then set the third as multiply. You should have this so far.
6) Next you should start erasing anything that isn't necessary. That includes most of the original background for image 3 that isn't needed as well as the parts of the main background that cover different parts of Hayden. Remember you have to be clicked unto the layer you want to erase to erase anything. Until you have something like this except without the extra erasing XD
7) Also, I like to add a bit more pink to get rid of the white that is left. So I took something like this and put it on a new layer setting it over the white and putting it unto darken. You then shall have this.
8) Then just add the text. I took the color picker (shortcut: K) and selected the colors from the heart (for 'Cara Nicole') and flower ('Donovan') on the right side. Then Added 'Cara Nicole' in a font called Pea Weenie and 'Donovan' in a font called Segoe Script.
And bam! You now have your finished result ^.^
