I gave the background photo more contrast with the Curves Adjustmentlayers. I copied the photo 3 times. I made a sketch of the photo and used the Dry Brush Filter and the Poster Edges filter on the other copies. I blended them together with a layermask. This photo I copied again and used the Gaussian Blur Filter on it. And again with a Layermask I blended the blurred background in on the photo.
I opened the template and clipped the photo to the fotoblendz of the template. I clipped a copy of the photo to some stains of the template too. I placed the background paper from APP Cosmopolis and erased some parts that otherwise got to busy on my layout. I placed some brushes and transfers from AAP and AT Cosmopolis. I typed the title with the Harlow Solid Italic font. And I wrote the journaling in the textbox of the template with Arial. I placed the paperclip from APP Cosmopolis.
I merged the layers and did some sharpening and Dodge and Burn work.
