You know those pictures you took last year that are just sitting on your hard drive doing nothing? Did you know you can go over to Shutterfly and spend 30-45 minutes and create a personalized family wall calendar that you will not only love to look at all year long, but will become something you will hold on to forever?
I’m thrilled to be working with Shutterfly again this year to share just how easy it is to make a calendar that you love to look at. (They also make great grandparent gifts!) I thought it was easy to make last years calendar, but somehow Shutterfly made even easier this year!
Once you’ve logged on to Shutterfly, head over to the calendars and decide which one is right for your family. I personally love the 12×12 calendars. You can pick from SO many themes, but don’t let it overwhelm you. Last year I couldn’t pick just one so I changed themes on every month! I love how easy it is to customize it!
This year I picked the Crafted Season’s theme. I liked it so much the only thing I changed was my picture lay out! Once you’ve picked a theme it’s time to upload your pictures. Shutterfly made this step even easier by giving you so many options on where to pull pictures from.
Then you can choose to manually add pictures into each month, or use their storyboard feature. I love the story board feature. You can drag and drop photos that get added to each month while having the other months visible to avoid selecting a picture twice.
The storyboard will auto populate you calendar. Then you have the choice to rearrange the pictures. For instance if you don’t like the layout of the pictures, you can rearrange them. You can also add text to your layouts.
Once you’ve finished with the months of the year, you can go back through your calendar and personalize the days of the month. Add pictures to holidays, birthdays, or special events you have coming up.
In less than an hour I had a home for some of my favorite pictures from the past year, and a very personalized family wall calendar to love!
