Quite easy. You have the template there in front of you, the photo. You draw along one of the sides to get the shape of the jagged edge. Then you use that line to cut away the sides of any photo frame you like:
Here's another technique. Once you have the brush you can save it and apply it to any shape.
I think it's called a deckel edge and Tony's solution is brilliant.
Once you add the brush shape outline to the rectangle and have adjusted the line width to your satisfaction, you can convert the line to shape (Arrange menu). Then it becomes a simple vector shape.

@ gwpriester - thank you for the mini tutorial!
I learn something new each day thanks to all you guys at Talk Graphics:D
Glad we could help. :)
I notice that Zakiyya has P&GD2013 that means he/she has the eraser tool, a decorative edge can easily be achieved by just erasing the edges roughly. Adjusting the roundness and angle can give you a bit of a different look and if you have a graphics tablet you can do this very quickly.
