Tutorial and freebie by Cammy Plummer,

1. Plan your design by turning on the grid view and using boxes to place your photos
2. Lay your photo over the desired box and group together (ctrl+g). Repeat for each photograph.

3. Choose a colour scheme. If necessary, you can adjust the colour of a background to match your scheme.

Select the background layer and go to Enhance > Adjust Color > Color Variations.

Adjust the settings until you create the desired color.

4. Add a strip of paper behind the photos and write your title on it.
5. Use the custom shape tool to add a paw print and group a patterned paper of your choice with the shape.
6. Draw a heart, fill in, and use ctrl+g to add a piece of paper to the layer.
7. Add a photo corner and layer with a tag. Add the date.
8. Write the journaling. Adjust the leading to fit the allotted space.
9. Use drop shadows to create depth.
