[Tex/LaTex] Using fancyhdr to create an image based header and footer

fancyhdrgraphicsheader-footerrsweave

I'm trying to generate a latex report (via Sweave and R) where the header of the document is an image that covers everything (including the top/left/right page margin) and the footer covers everything (including the bottom/left/right page margin) such that the graphics for header and footer are flush to the page edges.

Kind of like this:

enter image description here

I've been playing around with fancyhdr but I can't seem to get it to do anything but stick out in the middle of the page. Additionally, I can't seem to get the header/footer to show up on ALL pages.

Help would be appreciated, here's where I am so far:

\documentclass[a4paper]{letter}
\usepackage{fancyhdr} 
\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{float} 
\usepackage{graphicx}
\floatstyle{boxed} 
\restylefloat{figure} 
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
\lhead{\includegraphics{documenthead.jpg}}
\lfoot{{\includegraphics{footer.jpg}}}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\title{Example Document}
\author{Author Name}
\date {\today}
\maketitle
\section{This is a good example}
Example text goes here \\
Repeat me to force a new page \\ 
\end{document}

I found a better solution using the wallpaper package, replacing foo and bar produces the desired result.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{wallpaper}

\begin{document}
\ULCornerWallPaper{1}{foo}
\LLCornerWallPaper{1}{bar}
\lipsum[1-3]
\end{document}
