we FINALLY got it to work--thanks mikey!
so i guess the problem was that i was trying to put .png files into a .psd file...not sure why, but when i work in a .png saved file (blank background), i can open the elements i want to use, then drag them onto the blank .png background. SO, i can use all the cool stuff i have now! HIP HIP HORRAY FOR MIKEY!!!

this is a page i just did using the techniques that mikey figured out for me tonite. it's pictures of jackie & LJ, a naked LJ, and theresa & LJ at our company summer picnic. i'm very proud of myself! the only thing i'd really like to change (okay, 2 things...) are the "discover" text to be brown or another color, and to move the "at the beach" so it's not in the crack of the paper heart. oh well, it can't be perfect every time! i'd also like to be able to move the pictures around in the "frame" when i apply it to a picture (like move the picture so only the part i want is in the frame...). if anyone knows how to do these things in PSE 6, i'd love to hear about it!

Meg - nice layout. Can't figure out why you can't put a png into a psd because you should be able to. I do it all the time. Wish I could see what is happening. Also - there are a million ways to change color. My preference is masking. First add an adjustment layer that changes the color, then use a mask and invert it to paint the the color in. (If you don't know what I am talking about, read a couple of tutorials on selective coloring and masking). And last...google the word "clipping masks" - it's very easy. That's what you want for your frame movement.
