Calendar March 2024 Charli May and June

[Shirley]

I don't know why June came above May, I numbered them 1 and 2 when I saved them.  Is there another way to have your images in correct order.  Thanks

Here are May, June, July and August. Not complete but started with backgrounds, photos and the Wakanda font for the month to keep it consistent. I have added a strip file I used for the 2022 Calendar workshop so I would be able to have the days of the week. I'm glad I kept it! In date order, the photos are the African Lion, the Cape Buffalo, the Honey Badger and the Caracal. I will be adding details as we go along.

Ann, very beautiful calendar.  I love the Cape Buffalo layout and that you used white font/dates, the black is perfect and I never thought to go black.  I'm so far behind.  Busy week at work (Black Friday flyers, ugh) so I hope I catch up this weekend.

Susan, honestly it was a bit of experimenting with selections, brush and bucket and an all around pain, but it finally worked. Yay, me! 😉

I currently have 12,492!  Do I qualify for FA? (full disclosure - 5213 came from Google fonts that was on the font program I use)

[Ann Seeber]

Here are September/Rhino and October/Oryx. After seeing the video, I find changing the calendar grid and font colors much easier! (Lock Transparency!)

I decided to be ambitious and try to complete two calendars: one featuring our Labradoodle Lucy and one focused on Nature.

When I was a little girl, my mom signed me up for the children's choir at our church. The very first and only Hymn I learned from the experience was "For the Beauty of the Earth."  Still today, it is my favorite church Hymn. The lyrics resonate deep with me because I love the beauty of nature. There is beauty all around us. We live full-time in our motorhome, and I am fortunate to be retired, in good health, and can spend time traveling the United States. Someday, I hope to travel around Canada as well! 

I love taking pictures, and all of the photos I post are my own. Here are the first three pages of my Nature Calendar set.

I will be the looser of the club. 😁, I like fonts too (who does not do) but they must have something special for me.

And Finally July!

Installed 1115, according to Nexusfont, so I'm just a beginner  compared to you 🙂 😄I have a lot more, but not everything installed.

It's really too much to have, but I keep adding more.  I am hopelessly addicted.  I keep thinking I'll compare similar ones and pick the best and narrow it all done to 1000 or less....but I never do it.

All free???? And where do you get it from? 

[Sue Thomas]

Cor Blimey!  I'm aghast  at the number of fonts some of you have.  I genuinely feel we need to set up a Fontaholic support group, where we can help you to refrain from clicking that font  download button.  I see now that Michele isn't an isolated case. I see this is a real problem for some and  it needs to be addressed immediately.   I'm with Rene on this one.  If I see a font which really catches my eye, I firstly double check to see if I have  something which is  almost identical, if I have, I leave it well alone.  I have my favourites, which I use repeatedly in  my  pages. I think my disposition may have something to do with it, as I don't like, clutter, whether it's in the kitchen, in the office, or  on my laptop.   I think I may have over dramatized a bit, but I couldn't resist.   🙂

There are a host of  free font sites  on the net.    If you know the font name, type it in the search  and  a ream of  sites will appear.
