You should have some knowledge of working with layers for this.

Open the image, the template and your scrapkit. Shift+D to duplicate the template. Resize by 80%.
To start with I always hide all the layers, except for the bottom one and work my way up.
Colourise the glitterrectangle to match your kit/image. To do this open your top colour in the materials palette and click somewhere in your image where you like the colour. Now mae a note of the numbers next to H and S. Close the Material Properties. Make the template active again and go to Adjust/Hue and Saturation/Colourise, type in the numbers for H and S. Hit ok.
Unhide and activate bigrectangle, click into with your magic wand, tolerance set to 0 and feather set to 2. Copy and paste a paper into the selection. Deselect.

Select the bottom square, click into it with your magic wand, paste a paper as a new layer, invert selection and hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect and also delete the original template layer underneath. Repeat these actions for the other square and also for rectangleleft. Colourise gframe. Select and paste papers as before for rectangle right and littlerect. Delete the template layers underneath. Also delete lilrect2 and the heart. Colourise gframe2.

On the oval you now need to select all/Float/Defloat and paste your image as a new layer. You will need to resize that layer to fit what you like into the selection. Resize in 80% steps set to bicubic and with the aspect ration locked. Invert Selection and hit delete on your keyboard. Selecting like this will give you a clean edge, magic wand will make the edges look choppy. Delete the original Oval layer.
Mirror the white line and click into it with your magic wand, paste a paper as a new layer, invert selection and hit delete on your keyboard. Deselect and also delete the original template layer underneath. Do exactly the same with the black line. Delete Raster2.

Mirror Raster1. Go to your image, mirror that also and copy. Back to the square on your template. Select all/Float/Defloat and paste your image as a new layer. You will need to resize that layer to fit. Invert Selection and hit delete on your keyboard. Also delete Raster1, the wordart layer and the credits.
Resize all layer by 80%. Crop the tag slightly. Give a dropshadow to all layers. Add the embellishments you like and also add dropshadows.

Once happy merge all layers, Adjust/sharpen/unsharp mask set to 0,68, 55 and 2. Add all credits legibly. Add your name, crop merged opaque and save as a png.
