{Sneak Peeks} New Collections, Photo Shoots & Incredible Giveaway!

Good morning! It's a been busy week here at The TomKat Studio as we prepare for the holiday season! I thought I would share a little of what is to come in the next few days....so you can be sure not to miss out on the fun while you're recovering from your overindulgence of pumpkin pie! First up...(above) our new Vintage Rudolph Holiday Collection will debut today! I am ecstatic about everything turned out from my photo shoot with Laura Winslow! Can't wait to share all of the details!



I had the pleasure of collaborating with Tanya from Save the Date for Cupcakes on showcasing our new "Let it Snow" Collection! I designed the printable goodies inspired by this, and Tanya styled and photographed the setup! She enlisted some fabulous vendors and we can't wait to show you some holiday inspiration!



As you may have read on Facebook, I recently styled a photo shoot with Laura Winslow for the clothing line, Oh Fiddlesticks! Our theme was "Glam Camping" and everything turned out beautiful, including the gorgeous little models! Laura gave us the peek above, but we can't wait to see the rest of the photos!



Later today, we will be posting a GIVEAWAY for a Silhouette craft cutting machine! Just in time for the holidays, you'll have a chance to win this crafty tool! Stay tuned....

{Real Parties} Blue & Orange Whale Baby Shower!


Nicki from Vitalic Photo recently shared this GORGEOUS baby shower she hosted for her photography partner! Nicki was inspired by our blog, as well as Amy Atlas and we are so happy she shared this beautiful event with us! Simple, sweet and perfectly lovely! I love the serene color scheme of blue and orange with a hint of green. The triangle banner frames the dessert table beautifully and is so easy to make! The girls also set up a fun photo booth for the shower! Aren't they so cute!?

A big thank you to Nicki for sharing this baby shower with us!
Beautiful job!
