Photoshop question (creating footprint poem collage)

[jaykay06]

Hello,
Dh's bday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm thinking about buying photoshop to create a collage with the footprint poem (the one that starts Walk a Little slower, Daddy." said a little child so small. I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.) and I want to merge it with a bunch of beach photos I have taken over the past year to look something like this:

Is this something easy to do and learn within a couple of days. Can this be done on photoshop? any other suggetions?

I have been checking everyday for the boards to work to ask this question before investing the money and time (aka wee hours in the morning between feedings) trying to do this.

It would be pretty easy with Photoshop. If you aren't sure about buying it, though, I think you can download a free trial from Adobe's website.

Thanks! I'm searching for the Photoshop tutorial but it seems like some of the old links don't work anymore. I thought there were some moms out there who were pros at photoshop and made cards/photos as a side business? I tried hitting a link mentioned in a post but it no longer worked...any suggestions?

Here's one of the tutorials. I'll update this post when I find the other.
