open your paper, copy and paste as a new layer, click delete on your keyboard.
Deselect and delete the original raster layer of the template.

To fill the layers that have noise on them (raster 10 & copy of raster 10) you will have to make it active in your layer palette, selections, select all, float, defloat, invert, then go ahead and copy and paste your paper and click delete on your keyboard.

I used the following papers on the following layers:
