A Few Questions

I have put everything under the cut. It just looks neater that way,

To start off, the program I am using is Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0

My first question:

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

I was curious on how you merge the two pictures, and make it look so nice? I tried looking for the masking tool, but I don't think I have one.

Second question:



How do you get the background on this icon? Such as cut out the actual background, and put that notebook texture in replacement?

Third question:



This may be exactly like the question above, but I am not sure. How do you get the color textures like that? Without making the rest of the picture look horrible?

I hope I make sense, and I hope someone can help me! Thanks. =]
