All Aboard!

••••• Dated 2018 •••••

This commemorative ornament, 38th in a series, began as one of the tallest Christmas trees in the nation. The 100-foot Douglas fir was a gift to Kansas City from Cascade Timber Consulting, Inc. in Oregon. The tree traveled more than 1,500 miles through six states to Kansas City, where it became the 2017 Mayor’s Christmas Tree.

Each year, the tree stands in Crown Center Square to represent the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund, a citywide charity that makes the season merrier for our less fortunate. After the holidays, the tree is cut into lumber and made into ornaments designed by Hallmark artists. This limited-edition locomotive was created by Keepsake Artist Matt Johnson, which makes it an official Keepsake Ornament–the first one in decades!

The variation in the wood grain makes each ornament a one-of-a-kind treasure. And, through each ornament lives the spirit of holiday giving–all proceeds from the sale of these ornaments benefit this year’s 2018 Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund.

Thank you for your contribution.

Featured Artist: Matt Johnson

Title:
Hallmark Designer

Started at Hallmark:

2012

Started at Keepsakes:
2012

Hometown:
Fresno, California

.
From action figures to family scenes to the elegant beauty of Hallmark Heritage, Matt is an artist of many moods and scenes. What’s at the center of it all? A love of all things holiday, and the wonder it instills in all of us, child and adult alike.


Matt has designed for companies all over the United States, but his appreciation of toys has stuck with him since childhood. Toys play an especially important role in Christmas, a holiday that gives Matt the inspiration he needs when it comes to crafting tree-worthy trimmings in the Keepsake Studio. He admits “there’s just so many people around here that make it feel like Christmas all the time!”

Matt graduated with an Industrial Design degree from the University of Kansas, and continues to be a student of product design as he follows his passion for ornaments, toys and games. As someone who appreciates fun, creative and offbeat entertainment for kids, the Keepsake Studio was just the place for Matt to work, but an opening wasn’t so easy to come by. After a few years of working in the Midwest and along the East Coast, Matt made the move back to Kansas City with his family—and, as luck would have it, an opening in Keepsakes was waiting for him.

The work of a Keepsakes designer is a challenge, but Matt is happy to see his designs inspire wonder for kids and kids at heart.
