I want to change the colors for this buttons. The easy way is to use the Hue / Saturation option.

To bring up the Hue saturation window, be sure you have the first button selected, then press on Ctrl+U.

Use the following settings if you want to use the same colors.

Now it is time to add some text and images on your layout. This is a very simple task and i don't think you will have problems.

The layout is already looking quite good, but i think it will be nicer if we will add a good background. Please go to rovere wood texture.

Download this image and place it right above the background layer.

I don't like the actual image because it doesn't have the contrast i want. But i will desaturate this background image and i will have a nicer look. To desaturate a layer, please go to Image > Adjustments > Desaturate.
