This is one of the gifts I gave Brandon for his birthday
I got this original idea from the dating divas, so cute! You can do one for your man too, its simple and a great gift!
I started way back in November emailing Brandon's friends and family to write stories, memories or reasons to why they think Brandon is awesome and send these thoughts to me.
I gathered the stories and created a magazine layout. I added blurps about each person and a picture to give it a magazine type feel.
You can go to magmypic.com to create a magazine cover for your own magazine OR you can do one in photoshop.
Here are a few examples of some articles I put together.
After you are all done creating the pages get an old magazine and adhere the pages to the magazine. So simple.
So go ahead, create your own for someone special. They will love it I promise! Let me know if you do it AND if you have any questions :)

What a great idea! I"m so doing it!
Hey so I'm doing one for my husband and I was wondering what kind of paper you used and what did you use to glue the pages to the magazine.
Natalie, I just used glossy paper that I got at Kinkos and then I used mod podge to glue it to the magazine. Hope it goes well for you.
