Back to School Papers

About this freebie

This free paper pack brings classic classroom style to your digital layouts. You get 8 papers featuring familiar patterns like notebook paper, graph paper, and a classic plaid. The colors are bright and bold, with apple red, pencil yellow, chalk green, crayon blue, and graphite. These 12 x 12 inch JPG files work well as backgrounds for first day of class photos or teacher appreciation cards. You can easily mix the solid apple red and chalk green papers with the polka dots, pinstripes, and stars for fun school projects.

Ideas for using it

1. Create a first day of class layout using the notebook paper as your main background. Add your photos on top of the solid apple red paper.
2. Make a custom teacher appreciation card with the bright plaid and chalk green solid papers. The 300 dpi resolution ensures your printed cards look crisp.
3. Document a science fair or math project with the graph paper background. The graphite and crayon blue colors fit perfectly with academic photos.
4. Build a fun title page for a student album. Layer the star pattern and polka dots over the pencil yellow tones for a bright cover.
