I can give you the steps (if I can recollect :) )...
1. I opened the picture of my son. 2. Made a duplicate layer of the background. 3. On the copy layer, I used the lasso tool (checked the box for feather edges... with a radius of 4) to select the page that I wanted to take out of the photo and deleted it. 4. Then I switched to the background layer and pasted the mona lisa painting I found on google (it's in the public domain). I have to move make sure the background layer was next to the floating layer in the layer window. I had to use the Move tool, the Perspective tool, and the Scale tool to get the Mona Lisa to sit at the right angle and be the right size to fit the page. 5. I anchored the floating layer to the copy layer. 6. At this point you want to make sure the copy layer is above the background layer in the layer window. Click on merge down in the layer menu and you're done!
(hopefully those directions are right... someone correct me if you follow along and it doesn't work)

You are getting good at this. Once you get good at using the tools, then you can bring out the humor......good one.

His Mona Lisa isn't a bad copy either...
