When I was a little girl, I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown

I started with my photo. I gave it an artsy look with the Artistic filters in photoshop (Dry brush)
I made a new file and placed the photo. I duplicated it and made one version Black and White, and I also gave it more contrast with a Curves Adjustmentlayer.
I used a layermask and the Weathered Leaves No. 2 brushes to blend the photo in.
After I did that I placed the colored version above it and brushed some color back in too.
I merged these layers and save as a PNG to make it more easy and to have a back up of my work.
I opened a new file and placed my PNG version in it.
I placed the background

I started playing with the brushes and transfers under and over the photo. (I did some recoloring)
I placed the edges made from ScriptTease Fall No. 2 (colored them)
I typed the text.
I merged the layers and sharpened some parts of the page, Also some Dodge and burn work was done.
