Office Depot has a good selection of plexi "frames" in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses (sp?), business card to legal document, both in a flat design to attach to a wall and with a kind of bracket so that they will stand on their own. I put together a budget exhibit using several of these to display documents and identification information inside a case. They might work for your needs. Hope this idea is "creative" and not just goofy; it is definitely reasonably priced.
