Although not exactly a tutorial, I've prepared another calendar template in psd format for photoshop users (download is at bottom of page). Any graphic or editing program that will open a photoshop file (psd format) can make use of this highly customizable and useful calendar template.

What makes this such a useful calendar is the fact that you can use it over and over again, every year. Each calendar date (the numbers 1 through 31) are on a separate text layer in this file. Because they are on their own layer, you can use them for 2010 the way they are arranged right now. But, in 2011 you simply rearrange the layers with the dates so the numbers coincide with that year and you now have a calendar template for 2011...or 2012 and so on.

One calendar template you can use, forever. A little like a perpetual calendar, but you'll have to arrange the numbers every year yourself.

There are any number of ways you can customize this calendar - put in a simple background image and reduce it's opacity for something like this yellow bridal rose:

lifetime calendar, photoshop calendar template, 2010 calendar, bridal calendar, sample

...or you can decorate each month individually with your own graphics, or fancy brushes, or even your own (or your children's) artwork, like this calendar which shows scenes from my home town (Orillia).

Missing from this calendar are any holidays - every culture has a different set of holidays and special festivals, so these were intentionally left out so anyone could use this calendar and customize it with the holidays and special days their traditions follow. The text used on this template is bastardusSans, which you can get here, from urban fonts (free)

This file is sized to print as an 18" X 24" poster.

You can download the photoshop layered psd file from this link, but be aware that's it's a fairly large file, even without the images included.

For those who are not able to use a photoshop .psd file I will be adding a new calendar template each year in .jpg format so you will have access to a  pre-made calendar that you can print. The file will almost always have a space where you can add your own image if your editing program supports layers.

See the 2010 Calendar Template page for 4 options for .jpg files.
