Hey guys I figured this was Home Decory enough lol.


I am making a calendar for my mom as a christmas gift, but I'm not sure how big to make it. She writes EVERYTHING on her calendar so there has to be planty of space for each day, but I want it to look nice to, so I don't want to have to stick a bunch of pages together. Any busy moms out there have any suggestions on size? And anybody have any tips on how to print it? Thanks ♥

Hey Gen, I'm just finishing my calendar for my mother in law. I used this template. They are designed to be two pages, with pictures on the top page and the calendar part on the bottom page. I'm printing them at home with my color printer on Staple's photo supreme double-sided matte paper. It isn't super heavy (it feels about as heavy as regular cardstock), but it won't show through on the back, so you can print back to back. When all of the pages are all finished, I am going to take them to Staples to have them spiral bound.

Hope that helps!

Oh, one thing about the calendar template I used-it is made to be used for multiple years, so if you buy them this year, you can use them for many years to come. I think that's very cool!

OK, thanks

Hi Gen,
I too am using the Templates that Anna posted, they are great so far. I'm about halfway done with mine and I am doing them 8.5x11" on each the top and the bottom, so it will be a standard calendar size. I called Office Max and they said I can bring in my JPG files and they will print and bind the calendars for about $20 each. HTH!

I made mine this past week the top half at 8.5 only office depot had/has a sale 10 bucks for printing caleders & I have to say mine turned out absolutely beautiful.....I am tickled to death I used all my ideas from the scrap stuff I have & just put them all together in jpeg format when i was finished & save them as 999 size. Office depot has the calender portion already put together

I used a different template and here it is:perpetual calendar templates
it worked great for me. I too printed them out at home and had Staples spiral bound them for. I used Cardstock plain white paper for mine. So the kids can write in the boxes and not worry about messing up the photos. I liked how they turned out. It was rough and rustic looking. I think they are cool ! Have fun , I really enjoyed making them and what a gift to have a calendar with your families photos and personal things that have meaning to them. I think its a gift that says I love you and I really care ! Well anyways thats my opinion !
