The Forever Moments Premade Scrapbook Layout Review & Giveaway - CLOSED

When The Forever Moments contacted me about doing a review and giveaway on my blog, I was extremely excited. There's little that I love more than photographs or photographic memorabilia of my son. I'm on his sixth photo album (and he's not even four months old yet!) and 95% of our framed photos or artwork around the house are of him. If you're a mom, you know how that goes.

When I saw the gorgeous layouts that The Forever Moments create, they just seemed like such unique alternatives to your standard run-of-the-mill framed photograph. The hard part was selecting which design to go with. No, really -- they don't make it easy! They have so many choices, all gorgeous and different in their own right. Did I want to go the sentimental route with a pretty poem? Did I want to do something "mommy" specific? How about "daddy" specific for his desk at work? Did I want to make something for his grandparents? In the end, I decided on a fun space themed layout with the just cutesy enough quote: "Ethan, I love you to the moon, to the stars and back again." I selected a photograph of Ethan with colors I thought would mesh well with the layout. It's one that just makes my husband and I laugh whenever we see it. In only a couple of days, the mail carrier was delivering me a box and inside was my beautiful framed premade scrapbook layout. We decided to hang it in our home office.

I absolutely love our premade scrapbook layout of Ethan and can't say enough great things about The Forever Moments and the quality of our layout.

I love how each piece of our layout adds texture and isn't just a flat print. I've seen "scrapbook style prints" before and just can't get excited about them. These are gorgeous and hand constructed from high quality fabrics and papers. I also love how The Forever Moments gives you the option to add on a frame or frame the layout yourself. I'm totally guilty of having photos printed and then leaving them in the closet due to my lack of motivation to actually go out and have them framed. When our layout arrived, all we had to do was simply pick a spot to hang it. I also love that every layout gives you the ability to have any last detail personalized. Special nicknames? Want to add the date? They can add these and other little details to make your layout as special and personalized as you need it to be. These would make fantastic gifts, too -- but what can I say? I totally wanted to keep this one for myself!

The Forever Moments really put heart into all of their layouts. Every last piece of paper is hand cut. I also learned that they donate $1 from the sale of each military themed layout to military families. There is also a nice range in their pricing (from $9.95 to $19.99) so that everyone is able to purchase a layout that fits within their budget.
