Last Minute Mother's Day Gift That's Sure to Please

Thursday, May 10, 2012 by Michele

Mother's Day is on Sunday and uh-oh you don't have a gift yet!  What to do! Not give flowers, again.  Even though it is the very last minute, you can give a gift that is as unique and special as the mother you love.  Use the online tool at YourCover to create a personalized magazine cover that celebrates all the reasons your mom is the best mom.

Best Mom Personalized Magazine CoverChoose the Mother's Day or Best Mom magazine cover template (there are also another 60+ themes from which to choose), upload a photo, then personalize the headlines to be all about Mom, her likes, dislikes, family, friends, interests and special memories.  You can do all of this in a matter of minutes and then download the photo file INSTANTLY for a fabulous personalized Mother's Day gift

Print your magazine cover on nice photo paper, pop it into a simple frame, throw it in a gift bag - we promise - your mom (or the mother of your childen) is going to love the fact that you took the time to make them this special gift (and the fact that it only took 15 minutes - we won't say a word).

Happy Mother's Day!

February Cover of the Month

Monday, February 6, 2012 by Michele
70th Birthday Magazine CoverWe had some really great personalized magazine covers vying for the February 2012 Cover of the Month. There were 3 designs that had more likes than all the others, a 60th Birthday Magazine Cover, a 70th Birthday Magazine Cover and a Wedding Magazine Cover.

All three customers did a great job designing their personalized gifts and the 70th Birthday cover by Nina P. of Bronx NY was chosen as the Cover of the Month for February 2012. Nina used a photo of her grandmother when she was a child and then customized the cover with family memories and inside jokes. In addition, Nina used our "add headline" feature to add the number 70 the magazine's title.  At this time we do not have a 70th birthday cover, so Nina customized the general "Happy Birthday" magazine cover template to fit her event. 

Nina's magazine cover is a unique personalized gift that captures a moment in time in addition to being enjoyed by both the recipient and all the other guests at the party. Congratulations Nina!

Fake Magazine Covers for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day Fake Magazine CoverYou might think that making a fake magazine cover for Valentine's Day might not be the most romantic gift idea you've ever had - but you are wrong! Why?

Although it is true that there are not published magazines on the newsstand entitled "Happy Valentine's Day" or "Love of My Life", that doesn't mean that the personalized gift you are creating isn't totally real and wonderful.

So let's get started, first choose which personalized magazine coverLove Fake Magazine Cover you prefer, the LOVE magazine cover or the Valentine's Day magazine cover.

Winter Clean Up?

Friday, January 13, 2012 by Michele
We had a terrific 4th quarter here at YourCover, so much so that our web servers are getting overloaded with saved magazine covers.  Of course we wish that our wonderful users and customers would buy their magazine covers but sometimes it takes a few tries to get the cover just right. In the meanwhile perhaps you've created 2 or 3 that you don't need or you just can't find a photo that works so you move on.

Well, because of all those saved but un-purchased magazine covers, our servers are getting a bit overwhelmed.  Therefore, we will be cleaning out the servers starting on Monday January 16.  Anyone who saved a magazine cover prior to November 30 but did not buy it has received an email letting them know about this cleaning. Any cover saved prior to November 30 but not purchased will be deleted from the servers starting on Monday.

Did you make a magazine cover prior to November 30, 2011?  If so, follow the directions included here to make sure your design is not deleted.

Option 1: Buy your magazine cover
Option 2: LOG IN to your account at YourCover. You will be at your "My Covers" section of your account. Click on "duplicate" beneath the un-purchased magazine cover(s). This newly duplicated cover will have been created after November 30, therefore it will not be deleted.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at support@yourcover.com or give us a call at 877-972-6837 (or 203-563-9288), we're happy to help.
