     Hi Donna,

     We have a few tutorials about different types of layouts that can be created inside of Elements-

     1. Liz Ness did a great 2-part series about digital Scrapbooking on our P.E.T. blog where she walks you through how to place different elements together – http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/blog/digital-scrapbooking-from-story-to-layout/

     2. Matt Kloskowski did a great tutorial about how to create a print layout (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/featured/easy-reusable-print-templates/), which you can create and add a background to separately!

     I’m also in the process of creating a video about creating your own layouts and using the Content palette inside of the Editor, so hopefully there’ll be another one up on the site soon! :)

       Thank you JIm and Elizabeth, as much as I use Elements I have never really explored this area, I look forward to using Content Palette.

   Nice work Elizabeth, I can’t wait to try this. I have some old Kodak slide templates I found online. I will try this first.

   Elizabeth,
   How about doing the Polaroid layout using the content palette and show people how easy it is to use it for these types of layouts. There is a Polaroid frame and all you have to do is set your background, double click on the Polaroid frame and then duplicate twice, resize, move frames to your positions you desire and then drag and drop your photos in each frame. They can be resized etc at anytime w/o the problem of the paste in place method. There are many neat frames to use in the Content palette.

     Thanks Jim, that’s a great idea! We don’t have a ton of videos about the Content palette, but you bring up a great point – there are some really cool frames and templates in there!

     It’ll go up on my Videos-To-Do list this week! :)

   Posted example in Gallery: http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/gallery/view_img.php?id=40896

   Here is an example I did with the method discussed above using the Content Palette. It even has the ‘tattered Polaroid frame seen upper left. The pictures can be resized, swapped between frames, repositioned just by double clicking on them at anytime, no worry about clicking OK after positioning in the Paste in Place method and not being able to adjust. You can save and close and come back a week later and still make adjustments. There are many frame styles for every need available and all are just as simple to use as the Polaroids. They can be resized, turned, some allow border color and width changes, etc.
   There are very few tutorials on using the Content Palette, but once you it, it is very easy to use and you can do some great stuff.
