After joining Hallmark in 2012, Keepsake Artist Matt Johnson quickly learned just how much Keepsake Ornaments capture and share memories at Christmas. “You can see that in how people interact with an ornament and use it in their celebrations,” Matt says. “I appreciate that each Keepsake Ornament has artistry and the ability to mean different things to different people based on the experiences they bring to it.” Matt Johnson “Most ornaments are challenges, and I love a challenge,” says Keepsake Artist Jim Kemme. In his 54 years of creating at Hallmark, Jim has worked as a designer of everything from puzzles and posters to candles and ornaments. “As an artist, l’d call myself a realist. In my mind, I’m always just trying to get it right,” he says with a laugh. Jim Kemme
