Make a family calendar
Rob D. Brodman
Make your family the star of a custom calendar.
Make a family calendar
Download our free template and turn favorite photos into a personalized 2008 calendar

Use old family photos to create a calendar with a vintage look.

1. Choose 12 seasonally appropriate images.

2. Take your images to a copy or photo shop and have them enlarged to 8 by 10 inches and reproduced in sepia tone.

3. Align 14 sheets of 11- by 17-inch card stock; drill a hole through the center of the stack, about half an inch down from an 11-inch edge. Have the stack spiral-bound at the copy shop (ask for binding that allows you to lay the pages flat).

4. Print out the 2008 calendar pages on stationery.

Trim just inside the outer borders so each sheet measures about 5¾ by 10 inches.

5. Using acid-free scrapbook tape, attach the appropriate photo and calendar month to the bound 11- by 17-inch pages, leaving one page for the cover and one for the back.
