The computer-crafted calendars I'm going to show you in this article aren't just for looks. They're really useful, and incredibly simple to make. You'll find calendar-creation tools or templates within almost any publishing or graphics program. Once you create the calendar, you can print them perfectly centered on a standard 8 1/2" x 11" sheet.
For these projects all you do is substitute the type of sheet you print on. You can use magnet sheets for the weekly and monthly wipe-off magnet calendars, and print-on sticker sheets for the 16-month wall calendar. This article explains how to make both of those calendars, as well as tips on how to make a more basic calendar with any publishing program.
Wipe-off magnet calendars: The magnet sheet makes convenient mounting on a refrigerator; the laminate cover makes a wipe-off surface.

Tami Peterson Lewiski
Tami Peterson Lewiski's first book, Digital Decorating, prompted the Wall Street Journal to draw comparisons with Martha Stewart. That diva's domestic crown, however, is of no interest to Tami. Digital Home Arts is her trademark and, as one magazine reviewer put it, "Tami wields her printer like a great artist wields a paintbrush: fearlessly!" She's shown her innovative techniques for creating sophisticated home furnishings and stylish entertaining as a guest on many Home & Garden Television (HGTV) programs, including The Carol Duvall Show.
