Photo curls

One of the hot new trends in digital scrapbooking is photo curls. This is where your photo has a three dimensional appearance like slightly lifted off of the page. I have LOVED this look for years and have attempted it, but have not been completely happy with the results. Now, I am determined to learn this technique and went on a little web search for tutorials. I will list the links here for my own future reference (since I don't have time to do them all right now) and for anyone else who may be interested.
