This same method may work with the 1 2 and 3 page pages with text.  I'll leave that for you to try.
 
As an aside, for anyone who has read the Steve Jobs biography you'll know that this user interface would be much easier if it were an Apple app.
 
A much happier user.

However, my latest project is a 2012 calendar for each of my family members. I AM SO disappointed to have discovered that I can only fit THREE photos on a calendar month! In May I have FIVE birthdays and wanted each member to have their photo on that month's page.
It looks as though I am going to have to return to Apple for my 2012 family calendar!!
Snapfish, could you PLEASE look into this and change it for 2013. I for one would be grateful

And how did they turn out? We created photo calendars for the first time this year also. We used Costco's online calendar maker. It was simple to use, but it had it's frustrating quirks. We had a lot of fun finding pictures to insert in special dates as well (you can insert pictures and captions in the date boxes). For birthdays and anniversaries we just saved and used some pictures of people that we found on facebook (low quality, but they are printed pretty small). Final result...everyone thought they were wonderful, and we got a lot of ooooh's and aaaaah's. I'm curious…a month later, did you get your calendars? And how did they turn out?

I decided to experiment with Snapfish to get photos on the calendar dates as well as on top. I like this feature! In the past I have avoided Snapfish because of their limited layout choices and max three photos per page, as you pointed out. Well, this has changed: Snapfish has a new "magic layout" that lets you place up to 15 photos per page, hooray! Another option I have used to increase photos per page is to make a collage photo on Picasa, then upload it to your calendar site as a single jpg file. This works great on Shutterfly's full page photo option! I'm making my first Snapfish calendar this year, after using Shutterfly for several years.
