Default layers

Ok this might seem like a silly question but I am having a hell of a time figuring this out. I am seeking some clarification. I am trying to make one picture out of three. I took three shots using exposure compensation in my camera. I now want to combine those three shots in Elements 7. I have figured out how to cut and paste stuff from one shot to another but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get those three shots in there together and layered for the different exposures. Please help!!!

Since no one has replied, I will post links to exposure blending in Elements:

Simple Exposure Blending with Photshop Elements
(I know this is meant for 2 exposures, but you get the idea. You can do a Google search for other tutorials)

You might find it easier to just load the images into HDR software like Photomatix. You can try it for free:
