new easier download method? (And heart patterned paper freebies)

Happy Valentine's Day!

This post is a little bit freebie
and a little bit housekeeping...
(a new download method experiment...
Fingers crossed that it all works)

Guess What?
I've started a new Freebie blog
(and the beauty of it is that you never
ever have to visit it!)

Say what?

What I mean to say is, that I am hosting free paper files on a new blog but
you don't have to worry about it...
You can click to download the PNG (and even PDF files) for
free papers right here on my usual blog...

...So that (assuming it works) downloading will be much easier
for you. No more visiting other sites like acrobat or flickr.





Instructions are below with the new paper downloads.
If this method works, I'll stay with it so you will
only have to learn this once. :0)

The problem: Blogger reduces files to 72dpi and makes them unprintable (even though I pay for extra space). Dear Blogger, I would pay more for quality image hosting. Just saying.

The solution (hopefully): a no-frills Wordpress blog where I will host free papers (in PDF, PNG, and JPG) and then I will link them here.

These are some free high resolution heart papers that I made:

• the A2 one is sized to fit an A2 card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches (with a little trimming)
• the standard one is sized to print on a standard sheet of paper 8.5 x 11 inches
• the 12x12 one is actually 12.5 at 350dpi so that it can be used for digital scrapbooking or printing. I haven't tested the printing at that size yet, since my printer is smaller than 12x12 (for now) ;o)

They are all 350dpi

For the PDFs click the link. For the PNGs and JPGs click the images.

(guidelines for use)

Feel free to sell any handmade items you make using these... or share digital things for free that you have made using it (with a link to this post, pretty please). You can change them however you like (the colour and so on).

Please link if you use these: melstampz.blogspot.com/

One stipulation: No digital re-sale of these, or sale of any kind at all, please. (They want to stay free as the wind). ;o)

P.S. Please let me know if this downloading works better for you
(or if it doesn't work). I'll try to keep at it until I have something good.
