A4 Paper Tutorial :D

I'm using Photoshop CS3

1. Open up a new document 600x600 pixels.
2. Create a new layer and fill it with white.
3. Go to Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options (or double-click the layer). Use these settings:
A4 Paper Tutorial :D 1

4. Create a new layer. Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool and use these settings:
A4 Paper Tutorial :D 2

(This is the ratio of an a4 paper, if you'd like to create a different shape use style: normal)

5. Make a selection like this:
A4 Paper Tutorial :D 3

6. Fill the selection with #f8f8f8

7. Now we're going to add some texture to the paper. Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise and use the following settings:
A4 Paper Tutorial :D 4

8. Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options:
A4 Paper Tutorial :D 5

9. 9. Change the opacity of the layer to 90-95%. You're done!
This is my final image (I just duplicated and rotated the layer):
