Real Inspiration From The TomKat Studio

Kim from The TomKat Studio has completely blown me away with her amazing talent and skill on her son Tommy's Crab Shack-themed Birthday Party. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor after looking through all the incredible photos of her party (taken by the talented Vicki Lynn)--I was so inpsired, so totally blown away.



Kim has designed, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest children's sweet displays, ever. I have not once featured another designer's work on my blog before, but I was so incredibly inspired by Kim and her party she styled, I absolutely had to share it with you. Her attention to detail (as you know, I do love the details) was what "had me at hello" so to speak (in reference to one of my favorite movies, Jerry McGuire). No more chit chat, take a look for yourself:





The overall look: spectacular, striking, stunning.


Kim is an inspiration herself, in terms of a talented graphic designer who provides some of the cutest party imprintables for hundreds--no, make that thousands. She's also a mom of two beautiful children, a lovely wife to her husband, and did I forget to mention she is a correspondent for Home Goods (yes, the Home Goods) and Project Nursery? Oh, and that her darling products were just featured in the July issue of InStyle magazine in Amy Atlas' ice cream feature (Amy, by the way, who is a tremendous inspiration to me, is also one to Kim, and Kim is so forthcoming and acknowledges all who inspired her for this party).

Yes, I see this as the start of many, many great things to come for Kim. She has two lovely new team members for The TomKat Studio (Andrea and Toni, if you are on twitter they are worth following for all "The TomKat Studio Insider Info" @TKS_Andrea and @TKS_Toni), and I believe it won't be long until she will be featured to inspire you in a stylish magazine.

Thank you Kim, for allowing me to share my incredible feelings of gratitude for what you do, and for being a tremendous inspiration to me.

Enough chatter: go see the rest of the party!
