2010 Photo Calendar Templates

Last year I wrote a post about the many options for creating custom photo calendars. In that post I offered a free download of my own Photoshop designed templates. I got a lot of great feedback on the templates, so of course I updated them for 2010 and will be sharing them here for all my Shutter Sisters. Now you can get started creating your own personalized mini photo calendars for 2010!

Click here to download the zipped psd files.

The files include basic instructions for creating your custom calendar pages in Photoshop. Then just print them on some photo paper or cardstock and cut them out.

These templates are sized to fit in a cd jewel case, but they can also be fastened together with a binder clip and hung on the wall (see above photo). If you choose to use a cd jewel case, you'll just need to carefully take apart the case and put it back together so that it stands up like this:

These calendars make awesome holiday gifts and they are so fun and easy to create. And as an added bonus these are inexpensive to make!

Thanks! I have been doing my own calendars for the last two years. This was a breeze, just need to print them out now!

[Kim Stone]

Thanks for sharing, these are lovely.

[Beth]

I can't get the files to unzip using my regular methods. Any ideas?

[Kathryn - Collage Diva]

OMG! Many thanks for this. I was thinking just this morning about what I would make this year for gifts. I wanted to do a calendar but wanted something affordable that I could produce for everyone in the office + family + friends. This is the perfect solution.

Many, many thanks!

[Suvarna]

thank you so much, I made last years and gave them to family and still enjoy the one that sits in front of me now.

[RookieMom Heather]

Brilliant, simple, elegant. I'm going to do this. We have a ton of those cases just waiting for a good use.

[Toni]

Thank you for this nice set. I just made one using several nature images I had. I'm going to make a horse one also. They are easy to use.

[Nan]

Thank you so much for this. It is a fabulous idea. I found you while searching for a 2010 calendar to make. I'll check your blog often. Thanks so much for sharing.

[Rachel]

[Yet Another Kimberly]

This template is just what I need for this financially-tight holiday season. Thank you!

[jaybird]

fantastic idea... found you via one pretty thing!

[marian]

It must be me. I can download it but I only get a lot of letters and numbersand nothing else?? And the instructions say, not valid. Like I said, must be me.

[Susie]

Where do you get these printed? Do you have someone that prints them in the correct size or do you just print them and cut them yourself?

[Lariata]

Gorgeous! Thank you very much for sharing! I will use it in my studio! :)

[Louisa]

What a neat looking calendar! I am having a problem opening the file with Adobe Photoshop CS3. Should that be compatible or am I bad just confused about zip files?

[Paige]

Louisa,
I have had others test it in CS3 and it worked for them. So I'm not sure what the problem might be!

Susie,
Yes I just printed them on my own printer and cut them out myself. If you print on cardstock or a thick photo paper, they look great!

[BK]

This is a great idea; something that most of us can customize and do it ourselves. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.

[Limar]

Thanks so much :)

[Elizabeth E.]

I've been doing these for years and enjoyed seeing your version of the calendar. I developed a smaller one that fits into those old ZIP drive cases, but I'll probably have to move up to the bigger one once my supply of those runs out. I do mine in MS Word because I wasn't happy with the resolution of the calendar numbers when they printed out from a jpeg. My son (the photoshop guru) also told me if I saved things in gif, they may be clearer with fewer "artifacts" as he called them--those little bits of stuff that sometime result from saving print in jpeg. (This doesn't really work, however, if the picture has a wide range of colors.)

[Sharon]

Thank you for the great idea. You just helped me with 6 presents. Yeah!!!!! Sharon PS your photos are so beautiful!

[Lorraine]

Super thanks for a super gift!

[joy]

How kind & gracious of you! Will try this out!!
thank you!

[amy]

thank you this is a great idea. i love that it fits in a jewel case.

[Kathleen]

Thanks so much, these are great!

Hi, I am looking for a page a day calendar that I can put in 365 of my own photos and bind them into a cube or so. I've searched and searched to no avail. I will definitely use this wonderful template for family and friends gifts, but I would love to do a day by day calendar for my husband where I can add birthdays and photos of friends.
Any help would be awesome!

[Wayne Townley]

I've just spent the best part of two hours admiring all the different photos posted on your site and realized just how miserable a practicing photographer I really am. thank you for making me realize what a waste of time and money this has been. Thank you. Wayne

[Erica L. Pelaccia]

I published a calendar just like this about 8 years ago for a automotive museum in California, glsd to see people are still doing this type of calendar, do you have a source for the holders they are kind of like a cd case but fold different.
