This is the second year I have done a calendar from the free Shutter Sisters templates. This year, I had some printed up as 5" x 5" prints at Mpix, and I'm offering a few in my etsy shop. I'm also keeping one to use. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out, and it's very convenient to display on a bulletin or magnetic board. If you have Photoshop, go grab the template from Shutter Sisters and give it a whirl. It's so easy, and fun!
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your words of encouragement yesterday. Your comments always make my day, but they are especially appreciated when I'm feeling a little apprehensive about the future. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

ReplyDeleteI cannot figure out how to make a mosaic. Have you ever given instructions or will you please tell us very sweet blondes how??? I even have photoshop that I got for Christmas
ReplyDeleteMary, your calendar turned out just lovely! The images you chose are beautiful. I went back and looked at yesterday post and I wish you all the best with your new photography business. I'm sure you will do just great. Happy New Years to you and your family.

ReplyDeleteLove it! Carla
ReplyDeleteWonderful calendar. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! This is beautiful. I'm having trouble choosing my favorite pic -- December, I think ... or maybe September. These leaves are drawing me tonight!
ReplyDeleteThe calendar you created is just lovely ... such beautiful and evocative photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful calendar! Happy New Year :-)

ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely day.

Oh, this calendar is just the best idea. It is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI made one this year too and gave it out to my friends for Christmas...it was fun and came out much nicer than I thought it would:)...I didn't cut it though...I left uncut with a clip hold it up...and my photos were no where near as beautiful as yours!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year - my resolution - to try to post here once in each month. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice calendar!! Good idea to make one with the own photos. Happy new year Mary!
ReplyDeleteYour calendar is beautiful, Mary.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your plans for 2011, who knows what the year will bring for us all?
Wishing you Health, Wealth and Happiness,from Normandy.
Maggie.
Love your calendar Mary. The photos that you chose were just right. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYour calendar is just beautiful! I'm sorry to always be so enthusiastic but it's really, really beautiful! I just showed it to my husband (who often grunts when I show him things from the internet. Not, too often that I do that...) and he said the same thing - "Wow! Very elegant! Now, there's a great gift idea!" (Just think in a deep bass voice, though. =])
ReplyDeleteI, also, loved seeing your "year in review" of favorite pics. It's thrilling in both of these cases to see the sweep of the seasons like this.
Now, about that wonderfully heartfelt, New Year's post. It's funny but I've been thinking and thinking about your portraits. I've been looking at some of the very professionally put together portraits around and think to myself that you would be the one that I would choose to do our families' portrait. You know, I've been reading and studying about it. I've been thinking about it all weekend. What a coincidence! =]
So, anyway, Happy New Year!!!
Love, Me xo
Great idea you have. Little late but here. Blessings

Mary, I love your calendar. Thanks for the link.... I went straight away to download it!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2011!
Lovely calendar. Thanks for sharing the template, I finally felt inspired and created one too. Although my mosaic is a little lumpy compared to your clean edges. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely calendar. I enjoy your mosaic mondays, and now that I have discovered how to do a mosaic, i'm thinking of maybe joining in. One day, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the calendar link for the templates. Guess who has been working on a calendar all day???? It has made me deal with Photoshop. I am printing of photo paper - glossy but if I am really happy with the way they look I will have them printed like you did!
Again, your photography is always beautiful.
Carol
Such a wonderful creation
ReplyDeleteAlison
Beautiful calendar, Mary. Really lovely. This is my first Mosaic Monday and it was really fun putting it together. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless ... Lynn
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! Happy New Year! Looking forward to more "visits" in 2011!!
ReplyDeleteThousand thanks for your kind comment on my blog!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog you have with beautiful pictures ! Beautiful calendar!
Have a nice week!
Nice layout for the calendar. I had a few photo calendars made from my own photos as Christmas presents for family and friends, but they were the kind with one sheet for each month. I'll check out your link for the free templates, thanks.
ReplyDeleteMary this is just georgeous. I love your idea.
ReplyDeleteYou always have an artictis flare when it comes to this.
