This turned out better than I thought it would. All elements, with WordArt Exception came from Dana Frand's Raspberry Cafe Kit. Those elements are the background paper, the Bauble (my FAVORITE element EVER - LOL), and the heart tags. The WordArt is from the lovely Sue Jones. I selected the words Life and Music (had to deselect using the Lasso the "L" of Love) and I used a rainbow gradient fill. I then expanded the selection by 4 pixels (on a 3oo dpi page) and used the paint bucket to fill in black.
For that bottom photo, I selected it, cutting around us, using a 50 px. feather. Copy and paste and Wah-lah.
For the top right photo, I selected it, using the same 50 px feather. Copy and pasted it into a new layer, removed the color from that layer and changed the opacity to about 70%.
