Need to work on my photo skills

I made a shadow box for my mother with my daughter's nursing picture in it. I tried to take pictures of it inside, with flash, no flash, outside natural lighting.. No go. Outside you saw my reflection in the glass taking the picture. Inside I got light reflection that ruined the shot. Sooo I have no picture post today... At scrap group tonight I cut a bunch of pieces to make a patriot bulletin board for the end of the year.
