How to edit my pictures like this (example photos included)?

Okay so I need advice on how to edit pictures like these ones.
I've been trying everything but my pictures never turn out like this!
Is there an app I can use on my iPhone or some sort of program? Or maybe a tutorial?

Well most likely Photoshop.there's a bunch of tutorials on Youtube just search for "Vintage Photoshop"
or if you don't have CS1-6. Then I'd say get the app called "pixlr o'matic" has some pretty ok filters.

Hope this helped

Try using different positioning of items.instead of always in midle, put things to side more etc. And hmm… Fade out to blurry? Change landcsape, add snow or facial expressions. Make abstract thing in.
i really love that cat picture and the book one is good too: D! They are great!
