Calenders

Hi,
Every year i make family members a calender with a different photo of the kids on it for every month,
Since i,ve been doing them i,ve used the templates from "ulead 3.0" and they are really boring after a while--you just pick a month--add photo and print, but i,d love to be able to have some different backgrounds this year, or add seasonal stuff for the winter months, or candles or something on birthday months---just make it a bit personal,
Does anyone know where i could get anything like this from--either as a download or to buy from somewhere? i,m P.C thick so it has to be easy enough to do--anything the slightest bit complicated--i,m lost:confused: lol,
Thank
Sharon

    Hi Sharon, I bought these create a calendars last year and simply stuck my own pics and embellishments on each page. They are brilliant quality for the money (I bought A3). Made then for the grandparents and each month had pics of my boys - they loved them :D

    rainmmac - brilliant idea. We also get a years subscription to a magazine for MIL but it means she has nothing to open on Christmas day...........I was thinking of doing a few assorted cards for her as she's practically housebound and a calendar with some piccys on would be more personal.
