I’m excited to try out Artkive! Here is what Artkive is… “the market leader in digitizing, saving, and celebrating children’s artwork. The company is powered by parents who understand just how special a child’s work of art is. Artkive provides a shipping kit to customers to send in their stacks of artwork, then professionally photographs each piece to create a stunning keepsake book or custom framed mosaic print. Providing an easy way for parents to celebrate their children’s creativity without clutter. This is a special way to enhance children’s creative confidence and preserve beautiful memories to treasure forever.”
I’m not sure the box will be big enough but I’m definitely ready to find out. I’ll keep you posted!
