Sorry it's taken so long. It's been crazy busy around here with the holidays coming up.
Done in CS2, but should translate except for the curved text part.
Make a graphic like this:
Okay, I started out with this texture from _sinelinea
I didn't want to use the whole thing so I just cropped a section of it and since it's a really huge file, I sized it down some as well.
For coloring the pictures that I wanted to use, I was trying out different tutorials and I ended up using This from ownthesunshine with some adjustments.
So once I had the pictures done that I wanted to use, I cut them from the background and pasted them onto the texture. The one on the left I rotated it a little bit to make it fit better along side the other one.
Next I wanted to do something to cover up the bottom edges of the pictures so I made a new layer and made a rectangle using the rectangular marquee tool. I also rotated it so that i was going more diagonal along the pictures.
This graphic I did for a challenge at 300dpi
So I next added some text using the challenge theme. All text is done in Times New Roman in varying sizes and color.
For decoration I added some brushes from one of the vector sets from Portfelia.com in coordinating colors.
I also added a squished text brush from ownthesunshine and the corner and spatter brush are from HERE
I took another picture and used the same coloring as I did with the other 2 and framed it with a polaroid stock that I found at http://www.sxc.hu/index.phtml After sizing it down, I stuck it behind the corner of the brown box and also added a brush from Portfelia's text set
Finally I made a new layer and took the pen tool to make a path along that white swish brush thing. Your settings should look like this
Then just take your pen tool and click along the line of where you want your text to go. The closer together you click, the more accurate your path will be. Then once you have your path done, take your text tool (do not make a new layer)and go to the start of your path and you'll see the cursor change to something like this
Then click and start typing out your text. If it doesn't all fit on the path, just finish typing it and then change the font size after you commit the text. Once you're satisfied with how it looks, go to layer>>rasterize>>type to finish it up.
And that's it :)
