BasilRathbon Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 As times are hard I thought I might make a personalised calendar to give to friends and family as Christmas presents this year. The plan is to select 12 of the best landscape photos I've taken, match them to the month they were taken and add a personalised calendar underneath with family birthdays and anniversaries shown. Anyone tried doing this? I know there are templates online, but which is best? Also is there a good place in South Yorkshire where you can take the calendar as a pdf or doc file on a disc and they'll print it off and bind it for you on decent quality card?

What a great idea. I'm surprised I didn't think of it before. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrannyGranny Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 My wife did this a few years ago on word. Just insert the photo into word and then do a search for the calander part to insert. She then got them ring bound at Pinders which was the most expensive bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxHeadroom Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 There's a website called lulu.com where you publish your own book (photo album in effect). Can even do one offs. Think its about £20. It's really good. I'm thinking of doing one full of old family photos as a gift for mum's birthday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However are the prices shown with a third off already or is the discount applied at the checkout? It's a bit of a palaver to create a dummy order just to find out.

Agent Orange Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Why don't you just search for 12 different poses by your favourite actor Burt Reynolds and create a calendar with them. You will be loved to death by your appreciative relatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
