Open up the template.

Close out the original.
Image/Canvas Size
700 X 700
Delete the credit layer.
Highlight Raster one and flood fill white.

Each template shape has a separate frame layer.
To make this easy to follow I’ll give directions on what to do with each of the frames (instead of telling you how to do it individually, layer by layer). And I’ll also give directions on what to do with each of the template shapes. Again, instead of telling you to highlight each layer, etc.

For all Frame layers:
Select All/Float/Defloat
New Raster layer.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect.
Delete template layer.
Give it a slight inner bevel:

For all shape layers.
Select All/Float/Defloat
Copy and paste a paper of choice as a new layer.
Selections/Invert
Tap the delete key.
Deselect.
Delete template layer.

Highlight the top oval.
Select All/Float/Defloat
Copy and paste each of these elements below the frame of the oval:
Rocking Grandma: Resize 35%
Tree 2: Resize 60%
Tree 2 again: Resize 40%
Tree: Resize 60%
Selections/Invert

Now highlight each element layer and tap the delete key.
Merge visible the elements and oval background.

Highlight the bottom oval layer.
Select All/Float/Defloat
Copy and paste each of these elements below the frame of the oval:

Fence: Resize 40%

Selections/Invert
Now highlight each element layer and tap the delete key.
Merge visible the elements and oval background.

Deselect.
Apply the mask.
Merge Group.
Use your Pick Tool and pull it out a bit on all sides.
