"Hi! I'm Karen for Expert Village. Our paint is drying. Our box I've also painted the bottom. You want to orient your box. This is where the front latch goes and this is where the back hinges go. You want to make sure that you put your pictures on in the right direction. Let's start with the top picture. We're going to cut it out so it fits fairly exactly on there. We're not going to be trimming after. Right here it's a little too close here so we're going to move it down there. You have to play with your picture and put it on where it looks the best. I'm going to put a little bit of a crease there. This seems to follow that crease. Cut out your piece. You want to cut as straight as possible. You could use a paper cutter if you have difficulty cutting straight. You could use a ruler with a razor blade on a cutting surface for cutting nice and straight lines. It's not so fussy because we're going to be putting the top and then we'll put a border on. "
