Baking Spirits Bright

For Sharon Visker, each Keepsake Ornament starts with outside inspiration–insights found in bookshops, antique stores, toy stores, and other eclectic destinations. She is especially drawn to folk art, bright colors, and whimsical styles. After she has thoroughly explored, discovered, and gathered ideas, Sharon returns to her workspace to bring all that inspiration to life!

Robert Hurlburt

For Keepsake Artist Robert Hurlburt, Hallmark began as a family affair—his brother helped bring him into company.  “He and I knew that we wanted to do something creative rather than what our family traditionally did, which was working in an industrial trade,” he says.  What Robert brought with him from that background is the technical eye he uses to scrutinize each of his creations.
