Maybe you should be looking at Adobe Express or Photoshop Elements rather than Photoshop? Photoshop is much more powerful but is designed for professional use and doesn't offer much handholding. Express in particular is designed for inexperienced users without much graphics knowledge.

I would create an image like that by first doing the style alterations I wanted to do to the photo image in Photoshop. But then I would place the photo image into either Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign and create the overlaid graphics there. That's because the superimposed lettering and graphics would be maintained as vector-based objects and print much sharper than the photo in the background.

Not a graphics person so don't even know where to look on the site. Must be a program I can clip and paste image/text into?

Are you saying that you don't have Photoshop and are looking for an application? If so, try Adobe Express — there is a free version and a Premium (paid) version. See if the free version works for you.
