Calendar Options

There is still plenty of time to create a calendar for yourself or for a gift.  The ordering deadline for 2011 is December 13 to insure delivery by Christmas.

You can choose from a variety of pre-designed templates or create your own pages from scratch.  If you prefer the simple style there is a new FREE pre-designed block style collage calendar available here for download.   This template is for the PC only.  But you can find other FREE templates for both PC and Mac here for download.

If you need help creating your calendar you can watch a video that walks you through the process using StoryBook Creator Plus here and using sbcStudio here.  I am also always available to answer your questions.  

The new desk calendar at just $14.99 makes a great gift for hostesses, co-workers, teachers, grab-bags, or anyone on your gift list.  You can watch a You Tube Video on creating this new calendar with StoryBook Creator Plus  here and with sbcStudio here.

Do you have a family with an extra busy schedule and need more room than is available in the traditional calendar format to write down appointments, practices, etc.?  You can choose to reverse the calendar so the date portion is on the top 12x12 section and your photos are on the bottom 8x12 section.  It's very easy and I will show you the steps to follow here.

• First download the 2012 Calendar 12x18 Digital Blank Pages here.
• Create a new project and choose the the 2012 Calendar 12x18 Digital Blank Pages
• From the Insert Tab Choose Calendar and size the calendar to your desired size on the top portion of the calendar.  Be sure to work in the Trimmed View so your dates are not too close to the edges.

• You can then right click on the new calendar you added under the elements list and choose Calendar Style to change the style of the calendar. There are several to choose from.

• Once you have selected your calendar style you can then customize the design by right clicking on the calendar in the elements pane again and this time choosing Format Calendar.  You can then go through all of the choices on the left and totally customize your calendar.

• Once you have the calendar set how you like you right click on the calendar in the elements pane again and choose Calendar Style and Make Default Calendar Style.  Now when you add a calendar to the top portion of the remainder of your pages it will automatically be formatted in your design of choice.  You will just need to go to Format Calendar and change the month for each page.
• After you have the calendar set up you just go to the Elements Pane on the left and click on the eyeball to the left of the original calendar (Bottom of list).  This will hide that calendar and you can then add photos to the lower section. 

• Voila!  You now have a calendar that is truly your own with plenty of space to write all your important dates.

Please let me know if I can help you in any way with your precious photos.

Memories are the most precious gift of all.
