Next find your rectangular marquee tool-

I want to just take the end and move it over. Make sure that you pick an element that blends easily. Draw your rectangle over the desired element-

Once you have the area you want to cut, hit ctrl X. Then ctrl V to paste it on your layout-

Even up the element so that you can’t see where you altered it. Merge your layers together-

Then I put it in my layout the way I wanted it and added the shadow-

Have you ever finished a page and flattened/saved it for the web only to discover a typo in your journaling? If you haven’t saved your layered version of the file, you might think you can’t fix it… but you’d be wrong! This can tool can be used on a journaling error too, as long as the journaling is on a solid paper. Here is a little twist on the tutorial I just showed above:
1. Use your rectangular marquee tool to draw a box around the misspelled word.
2. With the marquee tool still active, click inside of it and drag it up to a blank area of your solid paper
3. Press Ctrl-J to duplicate that small area of solid paper… now, switch to your move tool and move the duplicated slice of your layout over the misspelled word.
4. Switch to your type tool and re-type the word… keep in mind, you are fixing a 72dpi version of your layout, so your font will likely need to be small-ish. I get it as close as I can, even if it means I have to do something like a 3.5 pt font.
5. Use a guideline positioned along the bottom edge of the rest of the line to line up the corrected word if you need to.
Re-save your layout – VOILA! All fixed!

Hope this helped to show you how to use a neat tool in Photoshop that will help you enhance your layouts and get more use out of your kits.
