I have just finished a set of 12 Photoshop brushes for 2010 calendar months, one brush for each month. These brushes will work well with the 5×5 tri-fold calendar card templates that I have. See pictures below for samples how the months/days created with the brushes look in my 2009 calendar cards. These two lovely calendar cards are included in our 2008 Templates Bundle.

If you have purchased these calendar templates from last year, you can now re-use the card design for 2010, by stamping the new 2010 months on the card to replace the 2009 months. New 2010 calendar card template designs will be coming to the store in October.

I have now included the 2010 Calendar brushes in the download of our 2008 Templates Bundle. You will receive the brushes for free with the purchase. For those of you who have already purchased the 2008 Templates Bundle, please email me and I will send you the download link to get the calendar brushes.

Enjoy and happy Wednesday!
