Well, if you aren't a very good artist, you can hide that fact pretty easily. Find a digital photo you like and open it in photoshop.

Cut out the image using the polygonal lasso tool (see secondary image). Copy the seleciton made with the polygonal lasso tool (edit --> copy) and then paste it into your heart_template.psd image (select heart_template.psd and then edit-->paste).

Once the image is pasted into the template you are going to want to posterize it. The best way to do this in Photoshop is to make sure your foreground color is black and your background color is white and then apply the "stamp" filter to it (Filter --> Sketch --> Stamp).

If you have not done so already, reorder the layer so that it is positioned behind the layer "heart border." Also, you may need to resize the layer (edit --> transform --> scale). Now, using the move tool, move around your posterized image until you find just the right framing.

For extra flair you can cut out an image of flowers, posterize it using the stamp filter and stick this image in the background behind the person.
