The general answer to your question is, no you can not do that without messing with copyright.

However, as Sherry mentioned there are millions of patterns out there that are not only okay for CU and CU4CU, but also FREE.

Find those patterns and create away!

Be sure to make note of where you find your patterns so you can give the link in the Note to Reviewer section and you'll be on your way.

Hi Angela, Below is a link to one of my blogs (that I really don't keep up with) that has a sampler of digital scrap papers that I offered for free for personal use. Four are patterned and two are plain. I don't mind if any of them suit your needs if you used them for your cards. I wouldn't mind if anyone at GCU wanted to use them. No credit is required.
You need to scroll down to Dec. 24th 1st edition papers. I hope they can be of use to you. Just right click and save. They are 3600 px by 3600 px at 300 dpi. Have a great day!
