Free Christmas printable or digital papers - set #1

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.

If you'd like to bookmark these free papers for future reference
(or even use this preview sheet as a printable) you can find the high resolution version here:

 all of the 12.5" square papers are linked in one quick spot , here. 

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):

Here's a print test sheet, in case you want to test

 them out with your printer first to see what you think:

To save this print test (directly from my blog):

In Firefox/Chrome: right click on the image & choose "save link as"

In Explorer: right click on the image & choose "save target as"

  Mac users may want to save it this way: visit flickr & download there by choosing 
view all sizes, then original, then clicking "Download the original size of this photo"

(The scale of the papers in the set will be different, of course, but this 

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

These are 350dpi (dots per inch) for print quality.
