There will be a variety of ways to achieve the result that you want. This is how I would do it in Photoshop. (I do not have Photoshop Elements). I hope that the description makes sense and that it is the same (similar?) process in PE.
1. Create a new, white background (File>New) with dimensions of 297mm tall by 210mm wide (A4 size). Make sure that you have selected white as the background colour.
2. Open the photo that you want to use. Press CTRL+J to create a new layer (preserves the original image).
3. Use the crop tool and, in the Crop settings at the top of the PE screen, set the crop dimensions to ‘Unconstrained’, 227mm by 170mm. Then crop the image.
4. At the top of the PE workspace click on the photo tab and drag it down a short way. You should now be able to move your cursor to the Layers panel (normally bottom left of workspace) and select the photo image layer. Select it and drag it onto thewhite backgound image that should be visible in the main PE workspace.
5. Adjust the position of the photo relative to the white background. Once you have the image in the correct position save the result (just in case you want to go back and change something).
6. Create a text layer and add text to the lower part of the image.
HTH.
