Our PrettyBlog DIY post : Desktop, iPad & iPhone Calendars {Digital Wallpaper}

Sitting at the Las Vegas airport about to board our flight to Boston, Yay - how fun. We are away on our adventures in America and this is the first time I've had a chance to blog this handy post that we put together for Thursdays DIY on the prettyblog. Sooooo . .  here it is 

Wow Weeee! Can you believe it’s already four months into the year, what a fantastic start to 2012. It’s been real busy over here at Elephantshoe and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful support!

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.

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

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

All of the insanely cool photography in the wallpapers and in this post were taken by the ever talented Blackframe Photography. We particularly love Julys image which means we have something to look forward to in 2 months time. Thank you Blackframe for making these available and free for download, (it's so cool to share your pics with our followers). Visit their blog to see more of their incredible work. 

Happy downloading.
