Have you ever wondered how you could easily create your own custom photo calendar?
Norman Vincent Peale said "The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself the more energy you will have" and I'm inclined to believe it.
In the case of creating a photo calendar, this page will give you a run down on the action steps you need to take.
If you've ever seen a good photo calendar, you'll know they can look pretty amazing.
There's such a abundance of different styled calendars you can create too.
Things to consider are calendar size, materials, paper used and the theme of the photos you want to use.

Person-alize your calendar
But here's a quick tip to get you started.
Pop over to Amazon.com, Art.com or Calendars.com and cast an eye over the mind boggling array of beautifully presented photography, calendars and books.
That should wet your inspirational appetite a little. Looking at other photo calendars can do wonders for your own idea juices.
Now, after you have selected the photos you want to use, you'll need to consider this:
Do you want to print this amazing photo calendar using Cafepress?
Or should you use one of those funky online digital printers such as Shutterfly, or Snapfish?
I'll let you decide that one!

Snapfish calendars
Either way, you will have to fork out a little for printing costs.
As surprising as it sounds, it's probably more economical to use an online printing service. Plus it always feels pretty cool to receive something in the mail.
Alternatively, get some quotes from your local printers. They might be able to do a good price depending on how many calendars you want, sizing, paper quality, color usage, etc.
A good photo will always make your calendar jump out. Paying a bit extra for high quality stock photography is worth it. It's likely that your calendar is going to be on someone's wall, so make it something they'll enjoy looking at!
Anyway, here's what you do if you decide to go with an online calendar printer. Keep these tips in mind:

I've used CafePress with good results. You get the choice of a simple one page calendar, a wall calendar (plus over-sized), and a vertical wall calendar too. See the calendar examples above.
Sheesh. I just realized there's too much to tell you about here. Pop over to CafePress to explore more calendar options!
