Did you save the papers as jpg or png? It's not unusual to have papers of 10MB or more depending on what processes you used to make them. Did you use a lot of filters/plugins?

Backgrounds should be saved as jpg. You really only need png if there is transparency around an item. As backgrounds fill the whole canvas you only need to save them as jpg. Open your backgrounds again and resave as jpg. You'll be surprised at how much smaller the filesize will be.
