I scanned a mat board on a flatbed for the texture.  The rest is just hand drawn bevel selections with appropriate shading.  I have the originals -- horizontal and vertical -- as *psd files with a slection for the interior and then just drop in the resized images.

Those bevelled/shaded fake mat borders are fun.  You can do that on paper and have an entirely fake mat board under glass that most will never notice is not the real thing.  I've played around a bit with that concept to make tunnels and windows that one looks through or out of to see the images.  You can get some rather interesting and unusual display options.
