Every year for the past four years or so, I've made the calendar for my husband's business. He hands these out to his salesmen and clients. I'm completely embarrassed by the first one I did. I was still learning Photoshop Elements and didn't even know how to put a border around a photograph. I "MacGyver'ed" it somehow, but whew...it was a stretch.
I've gotten better each year, not only with the photographs, but with the design. And, we've gotten better at working together, as our artistic visions couldn't be more different. It's my photos and design, but it's his business that's represented. So, you can see that those two might not always line up neatly. Sadly, there have been slammed doors, that's all I'm sayin'. But, God is good and sanctification is a life-long process.
This year, I decided to offer the calendar template for sale; after all, most of the work has been done. In this pack, you'll find templates for all twelve months and a cover, text layers with editable months and dates, a date grid layer already complete (if you like the font and don't want to make changes), a grid background, an .abr set with with additional grids, and instructions for printing and assembling.
It's on sale at my shop for just a few more days, for only $2.99. You are free to use it for CU/PU/S4H,
too.
In the preview, you'll see a photograph of last year's calendar, showing how the finished product will look (of course, with your photographs and elements!) I used frames for the inset, but you can use the template as is, add a photo mask, or use frames. We will be using a large photo instead of paper for the background, so that's another idea for you, too! If you have any questions about using these, please send me an email at preceptsandpromises at gmail dot com.
