Afghanistan Mural photomerge - streetview style

Hello, first post so please be gentle!
Whilst in Afghanistan I took lots of photos of the murals described in this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21219299
I have elements 7 and I have been trying to photomerge them into panoramas, however because of space etc, I could only take the pictures walking along side the murals (like google streetview does)
Everytime i try using the wizard, it skews the images and just looks like a scribble. Can anyone advise what the best way to do it is?
Pretty Please!
Here are the images on my facebook in a hidden album for you to see what I mean. (this is several different walls) I'm putting together a little photo book of my travels and was thinking of adding these to the bottom of some pages.

    Not sure what features Elements has. I managed to join 3 pics in 10 mins using Photoshop CC. I straightened them out using transform distort, then cropped and stitched up with automate, photomerge, auto. See result -

    if you crop out extraneous stuff, leaving just the artwork, PS has a better chance of joining. If Elements can't do the above, you can always download PS CC trial - I think it's good for 30 days.

    That looks awesome! I'm halfway though cropping out the extraneous stuff in the wall that is 17 images long. Hopefully it'll look as good as that!

    Does Elements have the PS transform-distort feature ?

    Yes. It's just chomping through my cropped ones now. Will report back
