I just installed photoshop elements on my laptop

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I just installed photoshop elements on my laptop; it is so fun to play with :-) I am a complete still a "newb" at photoshopping but I just wanted to showcase what I've been doing for the last hour. I would like to give credit to photoshop elements and the templates on faceinhole.com (I ctrl+fn+prt sc a couple of their scenarios) so I could create these....

They look a bit rough but I think that they are pretty good for someone that just installed the photoshop program a few hours ago :-)  To be honest...I have played around with photoshop software in the past but I am no expert. Hopefully that will change now that I have my own software. Here are the original pictures that were taken by me around the house, in case you were curious:

So what do think? Crazy, isn't it. I am never trusting another profile picture ever again.
