Now we are going to work on making the flowers.
Open a new image, 100 x 100 transparent background.
In the center of your image, using the preset shapes, circle with the settings as below
draw a circle that is 35 x 35.

Now go up to your layer palette, right click on layer one, click Duplicate layer 5 times.
Arrange the circles in your image to look like the pedals of a flower.

Merge all visible.
Using your magic wand, click your flower.
Go to Image, Effects, Inner Bevel and using these settings click okay.

Add a new layer
with the preset shapes, circle, draw a circle for the center of the flower.
Move it to the center of your flower.
With your magic wand, click the center of the flower and add an inner bevel with the same settings
as above.
Merge all visible.
Your flower should look something like this now.

Now minimize this flower.
Open a new image, 100 x 100 transparent background.
We are going to work on the leaf.
You can do whatever kind of leaf you would like. 
I used the Draw tool and just drew what I thought looked like a leaf.
With your magic wand, click your leaf.
Go to Image, Effects, Inner bevel and i used these settings.

Now minimize the leaf and reopen your rectangle frame image.
Add a new layer and make sure it is at the top of the layers.
With the draw tool, setting as below,

draw your stems all around your frame. 
Here is what mine looks like so far.

With your magic wand, click your stems.
Now go up to Image, Effects, Inner Bevel using the settings as below

Go to Selections, Select None.
Open up your flower, copy and paste them as new layers
to the ends of the stems. Now when you paste each flower, 
go up to Image, Effects, Drop Shadow and add a drop shadow.
My settings are like this.

This is what my frame is starting to look like now.

Now open up your leaf. You might want to resize your leaf.
I resized mine to 50 x 50.
Now paste these leaves in different spots on your stem.
some of them you might want to mirror, flip, or rotate. 
Just play with them til you get them where you like them.
after each leaf, add a drop shadow using the same settings as above.
Go to layers, merge all visible.
Go to File, Save as and save it as a pfr in your frames folder.
There you have now made a frame.
Here is my finished frame with a picture of my kid in it..

Here is another example of the frame if you didn't want to draw the flowers you can always use tubes. And I also added some texture to the frame as well. You really can do alot of things with this tutorial. Just use your imagination.
