Horizontal or Vertical Monitor Strip Calendar

In 2007 after receiving a comment from Diane about my vertical calendar and a question about a template for the horizontal monitor calendar, I set out to find more info by asking Diane and doing some research on the web. I found a template on the Adobe site and passed that on to Diane, but had problems with printing the jpg.

So I created the calendar from scratch in Photoshop both as a horizontal and a vertical calendar and also as black and white and colored. On top of it I saved the PDF as a regular page of 8.5×11 inches.

May 2008

I just got a new 22″ LCD monitor and my calendars don’t fit any longer as they are too tall or too wide. So I created a new calendar that is only little over half an inch high and about 14 inches wide. I split the year into 2 halves so that it prints nicely on a regular sheet of paper. Once it is printed it can be glued together into one long strip or just stuck side by side. (Make sure you print it at 100% size or you won’t be able to read it).

Note:
print the pdf page at 100% to get the calendar at the right size
the calendar can be printed on regular paper or if you want a sturdier version on card stock or photo paper

    I have used your monitor calendars for the past 3 years and they are great! Having trouble this time downloading 2011. Every time I click on the PDF color or b&w, I get an Adobe error message “A drawing error occurred”. Is it my computer or something I am doing wrong?

    • Marlies says:

      Hello Julie,

      I just tested all the calendars and they all opened with the correct file for me. Not sure where the hiccup is, maybe you could try again.
