To add a name, type the name where you want it. To delete the text and type your own, highlight the text and press Delete on your keyboard. Then type what you want.
If you want to delete the heart graphics and add something else, you can. Click the heart graphics to select them. Then press the Delete key on your keyboard. Next, open the clipart gallery by clicking Insert > Picture > Clipart. Then do a search for the type of clipart you are looking for.

When you find a graphic that you want to add to your banner, double click the graphic. Then move the graphic to where you want it. When you double click a graphic, it will be automatically placed in the middle of your banner, but you can click it with your mouse and move it to where you want it.
Once you are finished with the banner and have it the way you want it, save it and print it out.
