Begin by opening up your template and duplicate it (shift+D) to protect the original
image > canvas size > 700 x 700 (to give us room to work) we will crop later
delete the copyright layer
and add a new layer, flood fill with white so we can see what we are working on
open up a paper of choice and paste as a new layer above your white layer
apply the mask and merge group
activate 'rectangle1' > selections > select all > selections > float > selections > defloat
choose a paper of choice and paste as a new layer
selections > invert and hit delete
delete the original rectangle1 layer

repeat these steps for 'rectangle2' and 'rectangle3'add a small drop shadow to all these 3 layers
vertical~2...Horizontal~2...Opacity~50...Blur~5.00...Colour~Black
open up the image supplied by me or one of choice
using your magic wand, click inside the large circle
selections > modify > expand by 3
paste the image as a new layer and place where you like
selections > invert > hit delete on your keyboard
selections > invert and activate the 'circle1' layer and hit delete again
selections > select none

move the image to below the 'circle1'lower the opacity on the image to around 60
activate the right square frame and again repeat the steps above and delete the original black frame repeat with the other frame
add the same drop shadow to the frame layers
hide all the layers except for the mask, and rectangles > layers > merge > merge visible
