The first step is to create an account using an email address and password, upload your friend's photo and then start personalizing all the headlines to be about her life, your group of friends and all the fun times you have had together. You can personalize the magazine cover with several friends all at one time together, or you can share the log in information and they can each log on separately at different times to add their own touches of creativity.
A sweet 16 gift from YourCover is much more than a fake magazine cover because it has been fully customized with special memories you have shared - it's not just her face on the magazine cover - it's her life!
You can also create this sweet 16 gift instantaneously - purchase the photo file download to receive images that you can print at home or at a local photo shop for an "instant gift" that's a perfect last minute solution. If you have a bit of lead time, YourCover is happy to print (and frame) your personalized magazine cover for you.
Our four-legged friend Rufus here, had is 5th Birthday celebration yesterday and was SO EXCITED to be able to pick out his own doggy treat and a new doggy toy. Can't you tell how overwhelmed with excitement he is?! This picture is priceless and to use it for great picture gift ideas, I decided to customize a personalized magazine cover from YourCover.
Rufus' owner will be THRILLED when she finds out I made this for her. This fake magazine covers for her pet is the best birthday gift idea for not just Rufus, but for her too! It will look perfect on her desk at work so she can see Rufus all day long =]
Clam bakes, pool and lake side parties, and BBQ's take up most of our summer activities. For those who have summer birthdays [like me!], it adds an additional helping to your summer fun!
For those summer birthdays that are approaching, why not create something that fully represents them? The beach! Sail boats! The ocean! All things summer!
I made one for my cousin Andrew for his birthday coming up next week. Finding birthday gifts for guys can be so hard but I know that he LOVES to sail, so I customized a fake magazine cover all about him and sailing for his 30th birthday gift!
YourCover personalized magazine covers makes it easy to create. He's going to LOVE this, especially since this is one of his favorite spots on Martha's Vineyard that I turned into a picture gift idea for him. Hopefully after seeing this he'll get over the fact that he's turning 30!
Finally, the hot weather is here! I don't know about you, but I'm such a beach bum. I love the hot sand between my toes and I can't wait to start working on my tan!
But the sun and sand isn't for everyone. I'm sure most of you enjoy relaxing indoors with the cool breeze from the air conditioner, sipping on iced teas and lemonades.
If you find yourself sitting at home one of these days, here's a great way to do something productive, while maintaining a seemingly unproductive day...
Is there an event coming up? Someone's birthday that you're going to celebrate, an anniversary, or just a party for no reason? Let YourCover help you make it super memorable! You can make a custom magazine cover for your event as a gift, invitation, or party keepsake. This unique personalized gift is easy to make, inexpensive, and guaranteed to please. Did I mention it's an instant gift too...for all you last minute shoppers out there...
Now is the perfect time to sit back, relax, and do something fun and creative. Who knows what you'll think of! Remember, life is a beach so let the good times roll...onto the cover of a magazine cover...
Every year, it is a last minute decision on deciding what our family will be doing for the 4th. The decision between our short drive to our cousin's house on the beach or waking up at the crack of dawn to beat traffic to get to a Long Island beach [our CT beaches are not very pretty], will be made Saturday night on the 3rd.
Celebrating the 4th is a blast of course, but my birthday is on the 3rd, which makes it double the fun! You would think with all of the planning and 4th of July BBQ hysteria, I would have experienced an episode like Samantha did in Sixteen Candles, where my parents completely forget my birthday. I think I've done a great job to remind them enough anyway ;0)
To remind them this year, it would be awesome to see myself on a magazine. That obviously is not happening anytime soon, but creating fake magazine covers can! YourCover personalized magazine covers turns any photo of your choice into a personalized photo gift idea for all occasions...in this case a birthday! Over the years I have handed over some of the best birthday gift ideas to my parents for hints on what I'd like, but this one takes the cake!
My mom always said that one of the joys in her life was that she works so hard so that she can provide for my brother and me. Okay so a car is out of the question, but I'm sure if she had the income like P. Diddy, that Maybach would be in my driveway too... or maybe a baby pink Corvette...
Let's stop worrying about all of the things we don't have in life and start cherishing all the great things we do have. For all those who don't have Diddy's cash flow (and that's most of us) don't worry, we can still party like rock stars! A photo magazine cover is the perfect sweet 16 gift for a guy and a girl.
Let them know how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Trust me, their friends will get a kick out of it and they'll be jealous that they're not starring on the front of their own custom magazine cover.
A couple of years ago friends of ours took a trip to Australia! I was very jealous because this is my DREAM vacation and I wanted to jump in their luggage, but I ended up just drooling over their pictures when they got back.
Anyway...their pictures were amazing! I especially loved this one of their daughter snorkeling. I told them of YourCover personalized magazine covers and what an easy and fun job it is to create your own fake magazine cover. You can turn your vacation photo into a unique photo gift idea or a great unique gift for mom to display at home or at work.
However you end up using it, it's a great way to remember that moment and in this case, an extrememly memorable vacation.
It was not too long ago that my brother and I were sitting on the floor of our parents' den on Christmas morning playing with the gifts that Santa just brought us. We had drawn a line down the middle of the carpet and if either one of us crossed it, we had to hand over one of our gifts to the other to play with. Why? I don't know. Why would he want to play with my Malibu Barbie Beach House and I his PowerRangers?
Recalling the list of all of our hysterical and roller coster moments together [I pulled his arm out of his socket once], it sure does make me ask myself, "Where does the time go?" He's graduating on Saturday and I would love to be able to somehow document every moment of all the fun times we've shared.
I was thrilled to find out that I could do that with YourCover personalized magazine covers! He had already had a picture taken in his cap and gown, and I used that for this wonderful picture gift idea. Topped with some great headlines to make this fake magazine cover come to life, my brother Scott is going to fall to the floor when he sees this! There is no better way for him to remember such a milestone in his life, than to have a personalized magazine cover.
I know just like Emma here, my parents took me to a photographer for my first photo session. I was the first born, so not only did they want as many pictures as possible, but the grandparents were anxious for there own copies too.
Don't just give a wallet of your newborn to everyone, spice it up! A personalized magazine cover of your newborn will be something that everyone can remember. Your little peanut will sure to be a shining star front and center on their own fake magazine cover. It will make a unique gift for mom and personalized photo gift ideas for the whole family!
