Tammy Haddix’s 30 years as a Hallmark Artist-more than 20 of them with the Keepsake Studio have included countless conversations with people who share meaningful stories about her Christmas creations. “A Keepsake Ornament is something so special that you keep it forever. Thinking about people bringing my ornaments out every year…I can’t even describe how it feels. It’s very touching and very emotional for me.“

For as long as he can remember, Tim Bishop has had a natural affinity for art and design. Growing up he enjoyed climbing trees and playing outside but spent many happy days indoors drawing and painting, too. “I also loved hot rods,” he says with a grin. “I read car magazines with my brother, and my mom often took us to car shows.” Today Tim feels really lucky to be able to combine both of these interests in Keepsake Ornaments like this!

Terri Steiger takes her time gathering ideas and inspiration. It’s her favorite part of creating Keepsake Ornaments. She loves diving deep into the Hallmark Archives-a treasure trove of vintage cards, design patterns, and gift products from Hallmark’s rich history. The inspiration she finds can influence a design, a story, or sometimes an entire concept. No matter the source, Terri’s ultimate goal is to make sure the meaning behind an ornament always shines through.
