Ever since Sophie started school, she’s been bringing home more and more artwork. I absolutely love seeing all of the paintings, drawings, and collages she creates. She’s so creative, and Kyle and I couldn’t be more proud!
We love every piece so much, all we want to do is display it all over the house! I’ll admit, we started running out of room, once the refrigerator was completely covered, so we’ve been trying to figure out the best way to store the rest of her artwork.
Artkive
We recently heard about an amazing company called Artkive, here’s how it works:
- An Artkive Box is shipped to your door to fill with art with a pre-paid shipping label to send the art back.
- Your art is professionally digitized, tagged, and loaded to your account accessible from any connected device.
- Your art is turned into a book proof for your review and approval and then a high quality, hard-cover book is printed and shipped to you!
If you’re looking to turn your child’s more prize artwork into a beautiful coffee table book you can show off to friends and family, check out Artkive! Enjoy 10% off your services with code SLEEPLESSMOM. www.artkivebox.com

This is amazing! Why I didn’t I think of this lol
What a great idea this is! We have so much artwork around our house from the little ones. We’ll have to look into this!
It wasn’t real clear that the initial cost is just for the box and shipping label. The minimum additional cost is $60 for 25 images.
The cost breakdown was not clear on the Artkive website which has a sliding scale so you can calculate your final payment based on the number of pieces you have. The scale was very accurate, but it does not include the initial cost for the box and shipping which for me was $59 (I chose to have my art returned to me when completed). My total cost for the book was around $205. The cost is a little steep, so I hope it will be worth it when I receive the final product..
A sham. There is no contact number other than email. They hold your children’s artwork hostage. They should be shut down and investigated. Buyer BEWARE.
I suggest anyone having trouble with this company contact the BBB . They have many complaints there and I believe there is more people that took chunk change from them and decided not to proceed with a formal complaint. They advertise one thing, then they charge you a fortune for the artwork. 100% of the artwork is photographed, unclear how many times; so use it or not you have to pay. They have no phone number to customer service unless you make an appointment though calendy on their website, or you email or text, wait what?. Incredible how they have lasted this long. I imagine lots of wealthy parents and people like “sleepless mom”, who is probably making a buck out her endorsing blog, are pleased with their services.
