Prickley Pear (www.prickleypear.com) sells collage sheets, they're in transparency form and look wonderful over your favorite paper. Also Graphic 45 just came out with some great looking vintage paper, i heart papers carries them.
Do you mean stacks or downloads you can print yourself? Graphic 45 and Webster's Pages are the brands that immediately spring to mind for printed papers and there are loads of places, both free and low cost, for downloads (I've used Itkupilli for collage sheets and Everything Vintage who has fabulous download collections from vintage postcards she collects, scans and cleans up). Dezinaworld has collage sheets and paper collections - I have the Luxury Antiqued collection but haven't got round to using it yet (be aware that her prices most likely default to being displayed in UK currency as she's UK based so allow for exchange rates). Graphics Fairy has freebies.
My brain has seized up now but there are loads more out there - try googling "vintage download images" if you want to go that way and don't get more recommendations.
For collage sheets try Artchixstudio.com, love their stuff, great service too! Or do a search on Etsy, tons and tons there.
For vintage papers try your local used book shop, I find tons of great old books for cheap at several where I live.
Bonnie, those images are fabulous! I've bookmarked your blog to return to once I get a decent printer.
So glad you like them, Lola! You might want to try printing them even with an old printer... if you print on ivory or beige paper, they'll just look more aged! Sometimes the old stuff looks even better when there's some fading!
Tim Holtz has some 12 x 12 inch DP pads that are very weathered/aged/vintage in their look.
