New Puzzle Features Keepsake Ornaments
What has five hundred movable parts and is covered with your favorite Keepsake Ornaments?
No…it’s not your Christmas tree. It’s the new “Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Collection” jigsaw puzzle for 1988!
The puzzle features nineteen different Keepsake Ornaments that span the years from 1975 through 1987. They were chosen by the designer of the puzzle, Kim Warner.
“I wanted the group of ornaments to look like a personal collection that someone started in childhood,” she says.
“The photograph has a soft antique glow,” Warner continues. “I imagined that the ornaments were stored at Grandma’s house. She has just opened the chest and is starting to unpack the ornaments because it’s time to trim the family tree.”
Warner, who is a photo designer in Hallmark’s Season. Design Studio, says she arranged the ornaments to showcase their character and detail. “I created a setting that would complement the designs and reflect how much these ornaments are truly cherished by collectors.
“The wooden chest is an antique,” she explains. “It dates back to 1803 and is part of the Jerry Smith Collection of antiques and collectibles.”
Warner adds that she grouped the ornaments close together to heighten the complexity of the photograph. “A puzzle needs to be both challenging to assemble and beautiful when it’s complete,” she says. “The intricacy of Keepsake Ornaments makes them ideal for a puzzle.”
When you open the puzzle box, you’ll discover that there’s a surprise in-side. The puzzle is part of the Hallmark Puzzle Plus series and comes with a brass snowflake Trimmer ornament. It’s a gift from Hallmark and a real “plus” for you.
