1. Select 13 Star Snaps
Pick up 12 of your assorted and high-quality snaps, each one for the corresponding month and a 13th one for the front cover of the calendar. To simply this, even more, decide on a story in your mind prior to selecting and assigning pictures to each month. The choice of the photos being selected depends on the aim in your mind for which you're creating the calendar; motivational, remembrance, or scheduled.

Creating this for yourself? Choose photos of your favorite faces to raise a smile, or photos of your pet (we know you’ve got a lot of them…). If you’re creating this as a gift, you could select photos of faraway places, travels or adventures you’ve been on with this person to offer them a sense of escape from the everyday.
2. Upload and Edit Photos
Once you’ve finalized your photographs, all that’s left to do now is to upload them and edit the calendar’s look.
