Remember our DIY post on theprettyblog Digital Wallpaper DIY post in January? We had initially only designed January, February and March and when April came round, we had a number of you enquiring about the next month’s calendar.

Thursdays Pretty Blog DIY was in response to your requests. So here they are, DESKTOP, iPAD and iPHONE wallpapers for the months of May, June & July.

Download the DESKTOP CALENDAR wallpaper for MAY, JUNE & JULY.
