Hello everyone. I have finally gotten around to working on my calendar templates for 2010. Instead of starting from scratch and spending way too much time on these, I just fixed up last years calendar. The dates have been updated and I perfected a few things about the design and updated the colors so they look all new and shiny.
If you have procrastinated, like me, and need a new calendar for next year… download here.
My templates are 8x10s so they are easy to print anywhere.
When I get mine printed, I cut them in half and paste them on a 8.5×11 card stock that has been cut in half also. The photos fit perfectly that way with a nice little border so I don’t have to trim the card stock at all. Less work the better, right.
The pages go together kind of like a book. The title page ends up being the cover or front and back of the “book.” I then get it wire bound and a hole punched so that it will flip and hang nicely on a nail.
If you don’t want to be bothered with cutting and pasting then you should try Scrapping Simply. Chari is wonderful and she is offering free Wiro binding on calendars. Just number your pages and tell her to add the binding in the special instructions when you are checking out. I love her prices and her photo quality is beautiful too.
Here’s some pics of last years calendar just so you can get an idea how I put it together.
Another helpful hint is that the numbers and calendar grids are black. When you are designing your layout don’t forget that you can paint those things to match your calendar. It really helps to pull the design together. It’s also fun to add elements to the bottom part of the calendar too.
I’m pretty excited to start working on my own. I absolutely LOVED the way last years calendar turned out.
Time to get to work, Ladies.
