Final steps 
  1. Click on all the designs in the Filmstrip to select them. Hold down CTRL key when doing this. The background in the filmstrip will turn Blue. Go to Home tab and click Group. Grouping the finished design is better than combining since it is much easier to come back and make changes later. Just click ungroup and change!
