After the discussion , we decided to use this layout . I have done this layout by using illustrator. Every member have this layout so it is easy for them to create their calender .

1. create a new layer, then select paint bucket tool. Make sure the foreground colour is white colour . Double click on the layer and rename

2. select rectangular marquee tool then create 3 rectangular shapes . After that, edit > cut ,  the 3 rectangular shapes change to transparent

3. CTRL+ R (ruler) drag a guide line to separate the picture and calender . file > place , place the pink polka dot image. press ALT & click on the line between layers , clipping mask shown.
