Calendar printing

[AddictedScrapper]

Have any of you ever had a photo calendar made? I am wanting to get some printed up for Christmas gifts and want to start looking around for the best place to get them from. I know Shutterfly makes them but I don't know the quality of them. Any input is appreciated!!

I know someone in here printed big ones where it was just one sheet and the top was like a 10x10 LO they resized. But I can't remember who! Come out come out whereever you are!!

I did shutterfly last year and will probably do it again this year. If I'm really good I'll get caught up on the topper and not have to go them all last minute like I did last year, lol.

I got Shutterfly and was happy with them. But I don't think I am super picky either. Also will be doing SF again this year b/c I already have codes for them.

Alas, cannot get myself motivated enough to do any of the toppers right now. really should though. Last November was not fun.

I did mine through Shutterfly last year as well and they turned out amazing! My family loved them and now expects them every year for Christmas lol!

Also watch eBay for codes for free calendars later in the year. In November I bought codes for 6 free calendars for less than $20 plus I had 2 free codes from a Shutterfly promo so I did all 8 of my calendars for only my eBay cost plus shipping (basically the cost of 1 calendar @ normal prices).

LOL! I did the big ones last year!

I've ordered from Cafe Press 2 years in a row now, and i'm very pleased with the quality.

The best part about these calendars is that I could use square layouts I'd already scrapped and just plop them on there. The image part measures 11x11, and you can customize the cover any way you'd like. I LOVED these calendars from last year, and if I can manage to actually scrap some layouts this year, I very well may do them again.

Ohhh thanks for that tip!

LIBBY I LOVE YOU!! I totally want to do those. I probably only need to make 2 or 3, so that will be perfect! I love it even more that I don't have to scrap extra to do it, lol.

those look cool, Libby!

(forgot to mention . . . with SF calendars you can add your own dates for bdays, anniv, etc.)

Oh oh oh I LOVE this! I love the fact that they are already the size layouts I scrap so that I don't have to make specific ones for the calendars. Saves me tons of work, just what I need! Thanks bunches!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

They really are awesome calendars. And the shipping is FAST, too.

I realized I made a mistake in my previous post though. It should say that the image part measures 11x11... not 12x12.

 

[AddictedScrapper]

11x11 is just as good, easy enough to downsize a 12x12 instead of having to make new 8.5x11 ones!

Fast shipping is always a bonus too! I have to remember to order them early as well to avoid the holiday rush. Thanks bunches!!
