However, right now altering or building an entire box is not in the works, so I decided to strive for it on a scrapbooking page. You've seen the framed, pop-out photos, right? I planned on rolling back the edges on every photo, but decided just to do my favorites instead since so many photos ended up on the page.
Technique: super easy!
- Mat the photo.
- Cut a piece of paper about 1/8th to 1/4 inch larger than the photo.
- Cut an 'X' from the center of the cut paper toward the corners, not cutting the 1/8th inch border.
- Roll, cut, tear, crinkle, bend or otherwise manipulate the triangles out toward the border of the photo.
- This should create a window or shadow box effect for your photo.
- Works on paper corners, too!
**extra! extra!**
in case you want it in sketch form!
*Shameless plug: You want to see the complete project?

Very nice dimension in the shadow box. Great "shameless" plug.
