Finally, the first paper set is ready! ;-) Hope the downloading works for you.
I'm not used to the unfathomable torture that is the new Blogger dashboard, yet...
So, fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.

The goal with these was to make them look more like real patterned paper,
with multiple colours & distressed texture (and to make lots of sizes, so you could use them for
small projects like cards or tags, or for Project Life or Scrapbooking):

should give you an idea of how your printer does with the colours).

Hope you can have some fun with these,
P.S. Many thanks to Karen, The Graphics Fairy, for the circle frame freebie that I altered to make the circular samples with. More gratitude to Typedepot for sharing the free font Matilde (the font on the paper sampler) & thanks to fab'n'free for pointing it out. Last but not least, thanks to CircaSassy for the free frame that I altered to make the grey rectangular frames. (That gallery is loaded with lovely vintage public domain images!)

Mel, these are just fab - thanks so much. You've been working really hard on these. Love the music paper, the little dots and the ornaments the best - though they are all great. Using the music design printed on parchment paper on my old-fashioned Christmas card tonight - it looks really good.
My gracious! You have been busy! These are just gorgeous! Thank you! Happiest of holidays to you and yours!
Su
This is such a lovely set! I LOVE the colors, it is so fresh and modern. I must say I love snow doily and multicolor polkadots the most.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot !!! ♥
I LOVE them all!!! They would be perfect for a mini scrapbook album I plan to make for Christmas 2012! :) Thanks for these! Can you make a candy cane striped paper? That would be soooo cool!
ty
They're beautiful!
Thank You so much for your generosity!
I am new to your site and just love your work! I am using a Mac and would like to download the entire set of papers - not just one at a time. Do you have any suggestions on how I could do this?
Thanks in advance for sharing your beautiful creations!
Hi Texgal, Thank you so much for liking my papers. Sorry, right now I have no way to have you download the whole set in one go. It's one of my new year's resolutions to find a way to pay for hosting the large volume of zip files I'd need to do that. :) But I think you'll find that flickr is easy to download from using mac and relatively quick (or you could just save the sets with one click to your flickr favourites and print as needed, so there's no need to download at all.) Hope it works out for you. :-)
I love your music background which I can use on next years cards. Thanks so much for your generosity.
I can't believe I just stumbled across your website. These are absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to use them xxx
Thank you SO much for sharing them! I will use them to line my envelopes! Beautiful!
Fabulous, thank you. Jeni B at Loftycreations.
They're beautiful!
Thank You so much for your generosity!
Love your designs, they're great, thank you very much!
