Get Your 2011 Calendar
As it is a new year, I decided to create a 2011 Calendar for myself – not only because no-one bought me a calendar for Christmas this year but also because it was a great wee personal project for over the Christmas and New Year holidays.
Each month has its own page and the colours used represent the feel of the weather at that time of year – at least in the UK anyway!
So wait no longer! Download your stylish FREE 2011 Calendar from Creative Individual.
