Summary: Best Kit Yet
Review: I have used these kits for the last two years to make Christmas gifts for my family. I've made 20 calendars. Last year I took pictures of everyone in my family with my digital camera and made calendars with everyone's birthday & anniversary included. I used Hallmark Scrapbook for putting the pictures together and MSPub for the dates. This year I used my scanner and scanned in baby pictures of everyone. The kit is so easy to use and the pages are high quality for printing photos from both camera & scanner and I haven't noticed any fading. The only downfall I found is that the binding slips off if not handled carefully. Making your own calendars is easy and much less expensive than Kinkos or other photo developers. It is a wonderful gift from the heart and becomes a keepsake for years to come. I haven't found another kit that compares. I know I will be ordering more for next year.

Summary: Great product
Review: I made 4 calendars as Christmas gifts for relatives. I found the kit very easy to use, and felt it printed high quality looking pics. I did not like the binding which was too weak to hold a calendar with 15 heavy pages. I ended up taking my finished calendars to Kinko's. For less than $5 each, they added better binding and put protective plastic sheets between the pages. The end product looked very professional and fun.

Summary: So Easy
Review: I make a calendar for my daughter from an InventIt kit I purchased last year. The finished product is so amazing and I am so pleased. I would love to make calendars for the rest of my family but I am having great difficulty finding these kits this year. Does anyone know where to get them?

Summary: Super Product
Review: I purchased my first calender kit a few months back.The first kit I bought was the Photo Calender Plus with the software. And of course I had to try it right away. It is very easy to use. And the prepunched pages are great it saved me a lot of time. I really couldn't believe how easy these calenders were to make. And the finished product is just fabulous. I have family and friends who saw my calender. And just had to have one too. I have purchased at least 35 Photo Calender Kits in just the last two months. I really want to thank Invent It this is one great kit. It is easy to use, you get enough pages so if you do make a mistake you don't end up short,they give ideas on how to lay out your calender and sticker pages too. I plan to keep using this kit for all my calenders...

Summary: PERFECT GIFT FOR GRANDPARENTS! Easy and Fun to Use!
Review: Nothing is nicer than receiving a gift made especially for you. I love crafting but to my embarrassment, I am "craft disabled"! I take snapshot photographs as a hobby and inundate my sisters and brothers in law and my chidren's grandparents and their great grandmother with pictures of my kids regularly. Thus purchasing this calendar kit was ideal for me! I'm adept at using the computer for word processing, using the internet and creating and maintaining spread sheets, but haven't done a lot yet with photographs and graphics. Thus, this was a completely new program for me to learn. The directions are clear (I've had problems understanding or have found some instructions so complex, I become intimidated and don't use them, this was not the case with this package.)and it's easy and fun to use. I purchased a few of these calendar kits (THEY COST LESS THAN PURCHASING A PRE-PRINTED BOOKSTORE PICTURE CALENDAR, GREAT BUY!). Then I separated my favorite photos and organized them by month (photos of the kids playing in the snow for January, dressed in red [Valentine's Day] for February, on Santa's lap for December, etc.) Then I inserted photos of my children with the intended calendar receipient throughout the remainder of the calendar (people LOVE having pictures of themselves!). This way, family and friends see photographs of my little ones and are reminded of us throughout the year. I ULTRA personalized all of my family's calendars, including printing everyone's birthdays, special family dates and anniversaries thereon (With telephone numbers!), which was REALLY appreciated by all. Finally, for me, this was a really fun craft to do, I really enjoyed making the calendars. This kit is a perfect vehicle to be artistically creative for those of us who are "artistically impaired". The final, finished products look sleek and professionally made, which is always a plus when having made gifts for presentation to others (without embarrassing yourself!). Everything is included: 15 sheets of heavyweight, 2 sided photo paper (one side is for the picture, the reverse for the calendar), Heavyweight paper and clear plastic covers, Print & stick project paper, Easy to use spiral binding, PLUS, you can create and add stickers for special days & events using the included print & stick project paper. To actually make the photo calendar you just plan your calendar by selecting images for both glossy and matte coated sides of each sheet. Then check your printer manual for instructions on loading and feeding heavyweight photo paper. Then test your design by printing on a sheet of plain paper. If satisfied, set printer driver to the appropriate setting for either gloss or matte side. You then place one sheet of photo paper in the printer. They recommend printing the matte side first. Allow paper to dry completely before printing on the reverse side. If desired, create and add stickers for special days & events using the print & stick paper. Choose either heavyweight paper or clear plastic covers for your calendar. Snap on the sprial binder and you're ready to display or present! HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION for the perfect, home-made gift that the receipient will use and keep!

Summary: Warning!! There's no software included!
Review: The product description under features "*Create your own calendar" and one product review that refers to software included in a similar product led me to the assumption that this kit included software to make a calendar. IT DOESN'T! What you get is a box of paper with perforations (glossy on one side) and a little plastic "GBC" type binder doo-dad... Since I do not have any Calendar making software, the kit is worthless to me unless I go out and spend more money. If you have some software already, then great, but do not buy this product thinking it has everything you need to make a calendar out of your family photos.

Summary: Looks great, but doesn't stay on the binder.
Review: This calendar does make a great gift! I have received two; one for each of the past two Christmases. It's great to look at on my wall, however, when I try to flip through the months to check a date, it falls apart every single time!
