Creating Personalized Photo Calendars: Most online digital photo printing services, such as Shutterfly (my favorite), Snapfish and Kiodak EasyShare Gallery, offer custom photo calendars. The process of creating personalized photo calendars usually involves: 1. Picking a starting month and year for your calendar 2. Selecting a page design from a variety of templates 3. Choosing your photos from those you have uploaded to the photo service's website and selecting which photo you want for a specific month 4.
