Confession time: I just can't stop making these silly papers!
And couldn't wait any longer to share the new ones with you.
There are 64 here, (about half are new ones)...
more patterns to come...
I probably have another 40 to add to these, already, but I will
add new ones here as I make the circle thingies (with any older papers
that I've missed as well) ...but 40 sets seemed like a good start. ;-)
Hope you enjoy them!
Please note: They're hosted on flickr, so this tutorial
from my last post might come in handy.

These are...
... free printable papers & overlays for scrapbooking, card making, DIY free digital things, or any type of craft, collage.
... hosted on flickr as PNGs that are 350dpi for printing quality.
... nice large size: These are 12.5 inches square at 350 dpi resolution, but you can re-size them however you like, or simply choose the print at a percentage option in your printer settings.
... in many shades: Most of these sets have 29 colours (in bright & neutral hues) but if you'd like to make your own colours you can use the overlay that is in each set. The overlays have a transparent background (when used as a PNG) and you can add a layer with any colour you can dream up.

Happy Weekend!
P.S.Did you know that can quickly make
these patterns in
your own custom colours?
(gimp tutorial on the way)...
By the by, If you want to make your own colours. I have a tutorial
in progress that shows you how, using the overlays that are in each set.
It uses gimp (which is a free program that is a lot like Photoshop, only free!)
Did I mention it was free? ;-)
P.P.S. The circle frame is one I adapted from the Graphics Fairy, here.
With the flower from this frame too. Thanks, Karen!

Had a good look through these last night Mel and I love the French text and the bus tickets but how could I have missed the gorgeous dot papers! They all look great in the circular frames and your step by step tutorial on downloading was a big help. Thanks so much, Margie x
Mel, no offense, ok? you are the best kind of crazy I know of.. the best! Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us for free! I did notice right after you did the chevrons they are all over the place.. everywhere.
So gorgeous and generous of you, thank you so much!
these are amazing!! i love all the different styles and colors! i especially love the frame, I use those on my cards, so pretty!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!
These papers are wonderful Mel, I love them all! You are so kind to share them with us, thanks so much! Tracey x
Oh thank you, Thank you Thank you Mel!
Terrific! I printed one of your gorgeous papers and I'm thrilled!!! I hope to use it in my PL...I'll keep you posted ;-)
Has anyone ever told you that you are completely, totally wonderful and amazing? Well, you are. 100%. These papers are crazy great. Thank you.
I could just sit and look at them over and over. Right now I only do black and white but it's tempting me to get a colored printer. So lovely!!
Thank you so much......I have long wanted a set of Houndstooth papers in various colours. They are fabulous.
Hugs

Thank you thank you thank you <3 <3 <3
LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEE these :D :D :D
Mel, thanks so much for these digi patterns! They are awesome!! You are so generous in sharing your creations and knowledge! Wishing you many blessings!!!
There are two small words: "Thank you!" but they don't even come close to what I want to say...
These are the most wonderful papers I have seen in a long time - and speaking of long time, that is what I have been spending today, and will again tomorrow, on downloading just a fraction of them :o)
As I don't know what else to day, you'll have to settle with THANK YOU!
these are wonderful! I love them all & can't wait to see how they print out on fabric....thanks so much for sharing them
i havnt seen quite a few of them before! i recently downloaded and printed the quatrefoil pattern with my own colour, my printer doesnt print well so i have to choose very high saturation colours to make them look regular colours. It has come out awesome just like your sunburst pattern. THIS page, I will bookmark! Thank you so much Mel for all that you do!
just to let you know.. in the low contrast damask the colour grape/purple doesnt have damask design on it.
You are so amazing- Thank You so much- fantastic colors and selection of BG's- and Thanl you for the instructions!!!
I know I use it a lot... but once again kiddo.... you're AWESOME!! thanks, sweetie....xoxox
you are truly amazing, Mel! Thank you!!!
ps
will be posting about soon!
I posted about your site on my blog if you would like to see. I so enjoy all you do and offer! Thank you!

I just wanted to tell you how gorgeous these are and say Thank You for being so generous! I just found your blog via Pinterest and I look forward to following you.
You just go right ahead and keep making those "silly papers." I love them and use them all the time. Thanks so muchu.
These are all truly awesome! I'm pinning them. :)
I love all of these patterns. The chevrons are my favorite!!! Thanks so much for visiting my blog too.
I love all your papers. My favorite is the dress pattern or the French script. It's hard to decide. Thank you!! I will enjoy these so much. Since I don't have PSE, Gimp will be great to use. Can't wait for the tutorial!
Thank you Mel. You are amazing. It's so nice to be able to get such a fantastic set for FREE!
I don't have enough words to thank you for these!!!
I APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE PIECE!
THANKS! ♥
Thank you for the sharing your wonderful printable papers! I was looking for a French script stamp, but now I can make my project in any color/size. Fabulous!
Mel, thank you so much - your work is absolutely fabulous and I'm amazed by your generosity. You rock!

wow THANK YOU very much!! Way Awesome!!!!
hugs, Heidi
WONDERFUL !!!!!!!
A big big thanks (my DD will be full so quickly !)
Just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I was starting to work on my little boy's birthday banner and you just took a lot of stress off me!
Love your blog! and these designs.
This is so thoughtful for you to share all this hard work. How did you create them? I'm going to get photo-shop soon so I need to learn how to do this type of stuff. I about flipped when I saw that you had them in all sorts of colors. wow!!!
What fantastic designs, you are so very clever! Some day, I will learn how to create papers as well. :) Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
OMG, I feel like I just won the lottery! I am a newbie at digital crafting & trying to slowly build up supplies. So many beautiful patterns & colors; the possibilities are endless! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent.
Wonderful visual textures. I have been looking everywhere for patterns to print edible images to go on cakes. Making my mother's 80th birthday cake and decorating bottom tier as a present (needed a wrapping paper design) next tier an antique hat box (needed striped design) and top tier a jewelry box (wood grain). I found all my prints here with complimentary compatible colors! A huge THANK YOU!
Thank you so much. I love your papers, and always link back. Today I'm using the houndstooth! best, CG
Ditto on feeling like I won the lottery! These are amazing, thank you so much!
Thanks so much Mel. The honeycomb is perfect for a baby frame background for my niece. It works perfectly with her shower invitations.
