OK ladies who have done calenders!

[**Holly**]

This year I am planning on making my own but I have no idea how...

So my question to you....what size are the pages?? Like are they just reg 12x12 size or smaller...

where do you print??

umm and any other advice would be nice!

You ladies ROCK! :thumbup:

[FlirtatiousBrat]

I used shuttefly last year..uh I used a template though haha..so I'm no help

I think I'm going to do CD calendars this year..and I know which ones I'm gonna use as soon as they are finished (hint hint)

[OrianaVianey]

I did my wall calendars at ArtsCow (last year used Shutterfly)
The top LO is 8.5 X 11 (landscape) and the grid with the dates is pre-made by them, you just have to personalize the dates (like mom's birthday, anniversary, and stuff like that)

If you want to give it a try let me know, I have one coupon for a free calendar (no shipping included wich is $7.99)

[mommy2aria06]

I used Kinkos last year and the rocked the freggin' house! They have the size on their website- definitely doing them again this year!

[**Holly**]

Thanks ladies!

I do 8.5x11 cardstock and I print them myself. DH has a spiral binding machine at his office so he binds it for me.

[kscwgirl]

I do 8.5x11 too, but I do Shutterfly. I used them last year and the calendars were awesome!!

[ShortCake]

Great question because I'm wanting to know the same thing.

Dumb question.......what are the CD calendars? Are they small calendars? :unsure:

[girlflies]

They are calendars that fit into a CD jewel case (bend the cover backwards until it stands up on your desk). They are a wonderful compact size, and very popular in our family!

[**Holly**]

SO 8.5x11 is popular...and those CD ones too...hmm

[ColleenSwerb]

I'm doing CD sized, and probably 8.5x11, and I want to do a Maya Road one. And like Meg, I'm waiting for them to be finished. If you know what I'm sayin :p

[**Holly**]

lol you girls are silly...

[kscwgirl]

Yep, I'm waiting for my big ones to be finished too. LOL

I'm going to use the 5x7 size for desk calendars this year though.. my mother was um.. slightly technology challenged by the CD calendar. LOL

Oooooh that could be so cute. Get a pretty frame and use if for calendars!!

[**Holly**]

Oh the 5x7 ones do sound cute!!

[kscwgirl]

Yep yep. Or, for my mother, she's getting the $1 acrylic stand up frame so she can just slide things in and out.. or else I will end up putting November's calendar in her frame and taking out April like I did yesterday. :blink:

[kscwgirl]

Oh the 5x7 ones do sound cute!!

I'm using Penny's templates that came out on Saturday. :)

[**Holly**]

Awesome...

Do you any of you girls know if anyone is coming out with 81/2 by 11 templates anytime soon?

[kscwgirl]

Awesome...

Do you any of you girls know if anyone is coming out with 81/2 by 11 templates anytime soon?

I don't know about templates but I do know that there will be some cool premade ones coming............

[Paula]

I always use Shabby Princess' one page 8.5x11 ones and print and bind them at my local printer here. He's good to me cuz I bring him lots of business. LOL

[OrianaVianey]

Dani had a great pre-made calendars last year, I used the tops this year, mixed with Shabby Princess and Shabby Miss Jenn.
My calendars arrived yesterday so, I'll post some pics later

[lovely1m]

SHoot, I made them 8x10 now everything is kind of cut funny. Don't know why 8.5x11 didn't dawn on me. I also make 5x7 ones, too, cause I didn't think people would figure out the whole CD calender thing. :blink:

[Stacey42]

My mom couldn't work out the CD thing either when I did last year. Truth to tell I had to look at photos of how to set it up myself.:)
