ABOUT | 
 Cover to Cover Creative started as my final college art project in 2012. I wanted to showcase the value of process using a simple and playful approach to reveal the treasures often hidden along the way. What better than a storybook to illustrate the importance and rewards of immersing yourself in a process from end to end? 
 For that reason, this collection of artwork is inspired by some of the most cherished children’s books. You may notice that the posters are not explicitly associated with the title of the book; this bit of mystery is intentional and acknowledges the special connection created between the reader and the story. The magic in each design emerges when one has read through the book from cover to cover.

 To every person, parent, teacher, librarian, and picture book enthusiast who has a special connection to a storybook, this shop was created for you! If the book you cherish most is not yet featured in the shop, please send me a message and I’ll create a Custom Order for you. Or if you'd like to see an existing print with different colors and/or an alternate quote from the book, send me a message, and I will create a personalized version with Custom Changes for you. 


SISTER COLLECTION | 

 The Sister Collection is a group of prints that have been created in collaboration with my 9 year old sister Sofia. Sofia selects each book, and then after reading the book on her own, she creates a drawing using an illustration and quote she thinks best represents the story. I help finalize her artwork in Adobe Illustrator and create the listing on Etsy. Profits from each Sister print sale go towards Sofia’s creativity fund — She loves drawing, painting, making slime, creating felt figures and learning new art forms!

 Fine Art Paper - The quality of the paper is felt right away. Visually, you will see how dynamic the coloring is on the bright white paper.

 » Archival (acid-free)

 Additional Information: When I first created my shop, Fine Art Paper was the only paper option I offered, but I found that for many customers the Fine Art Paper prices were outside of their budget. So I searched and found a more affordable option: Poster Paper. I would definitely say that the Fine Art Paper is the higher quality choice, but the Poster Paper is a great affordable alternative! 


 BORDER OPTIONS | 

 Border - If you select Border, the artwork will include a white border ranging from .5”-1.8” around the colored area. This border is included in your print’s overall size. 

 No Border - If you select No Border, the colored artwork will go to the edge of your print.

Please reference the Size Options description above to read specific measurements for each size/border combo.

Each Custom Change is $5 in addition to the cost of the print. For easy checkout, I have a Custom Change listing that you can add to your shopping cart along with your print/s. You can write your custom changes in the “Add a note” box or send me a message. I will send you a photo proof before printing your order. 
 CUSTOM ORDER | 

$15 - If the book you cherish most is not yet featured in the shop, please send me a message and I’ll create a Custom Order for you. Each custom order is $15 plus the cost of the print. The artwork takes about a week to design and then I will send over a photo proof for you to approve. Once approved, I will create a custom listing for you to purchase from. Please send me a message to get started!
