Artist Insights: Santa’s Next Stop
Hallmark sat down (virtually!) with Keepsake Artist Anita Marra Rogers to chat more about the Santa’s Next Stop Special Edition ornament releasing on 6/12! Anita was the lead on the project, and she worked with the entire Keepsake Studio of Artists to bring the ornament to life! Keep reading to learn more of what she had to say about the process.
Don’t forget to join Hallmark on the Keepsake Facebook page on 6/12 from 12pm-1pm CST for their virtual Keepsake Artist Signing Facebook Live event! Anita along with fellow artists Debra Nielsen and Nello Williams will be chatting more about the Santa’s Next Stop Special Edition ornament and answering all your burning questions! There will be signed giveaways–the Santa’s Next Stop Special Edition ornament signed by the entire Keepsake Studio–as well selected from those in attendance. The event is completely free! See you on 6/12 from 12-1pm CST.
Anita also added, “I actually named this piece! Since the 1993 piece was “Santa’s Favorite Stop,” I thought it would be fun to call this one “Santa’s Next Stop.” I suggested it to Keepsake Editor Lindsay Evans, and she loved it!”
Lindsay will be hosting the virtual event on 6/12, so you’ll get to hear more from her then too! The KOC can’t wait to chat with you on 6/12 from 12-1pm CST. See you then.
