Hey. I'm attempting to create a guild website for a gaming group (or guild) from the game World of Warcraft. I was hoping to mimic their main website just a bit (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/) by using parchment-like textures like:

And especially:

Also the great looking borders to those parchment pieces:

So I've been experimenting but so far, nothing reasonably good- especially in the way of a chipped or torn looking edge. Any pointers? I'm not new to Photoshop. I've been toying with it for about 7 years, I just never took any classes on it or such. Basically what I've learned is through tutorials and I'm not the greatest (keep that in mind as to why I may not be getting a good result).
