4. Temple of Learning; First I cropped the books image and the library image. I added the books image and the text image to the library background. I used the Overlay blending modes and lowered the opacity of both the books and the text images. Then I added text.

6. Easter Lily; First I adjusted the color of the original image. I selected the border area with the rectangle marquee tool, then deleted the inside. I unlocked the image, then typed the Easter text. I moved the layer under the image layer. I blended the two layers by hovering over the line between the layers while pressing Opt, then added another new layer under the type layer. Using the eyedropper tool, I filled that layer with a light color from the original image. I copied the image layer and moved it between the type layer and color layer, then lowered the opacity. On the type layer, I selected fx, added a drop shadow, bevel and embossing, and a stroke.
