Design Challenge for Happy Family!

 A couple of months back I had a representative contact me at Capes & Crowns (my business page) from a company called Happy Family. Their products are sold nation wide at Wal-Mart, Target, etc. They sell a variety of organic toddler foods and snacks. I had sworn off voting contests bc honestly even after winning the big Pottery Barn challenge it was SO stressful. I ended up agreeing to this one however bc its a smaller company and honestly just seemed like tons of fun! I was thrilled I didnt have to do an entire setup this time, instead my design challenge was with a set of cookie jars! Simple enough. Who doesnt love cookie jars?! Or at least whats inside of them right? :) The contest begins the 26th. Just like with the Pottery Barn contest only 4 stylists are hand picked to participate. Im honored to be asked to be apart of it. I wish the other 3 talented designers luck and I really cant wait to see everyones designs!
   When it came to the design itself I knew immediately knew what I wanted to do. Its was a no brainer. We were to do something that represented one of our children and their best friend. Being that I actually live with a child named after Superman I really couldnt see going in another direction. I usually try to do themes that I havent seen done anywhere...yellow polka dot bikini, vintage boxing etc but I knew that this theme had to represent my child. His best friend Charlee is also the perfect supergirl. She even looks like her! Perfect pairing for the cookie jars. When the jars arrived the first thing I noticed was what nice, classic pieces they were. I almost hated to do too much to them. They were Crate & Barrel brand and were almost begging to just be left alone lol! Thats when an idea came to mind to make them not only one of a kind but reversible so to speak. A cookie jar koosie, if you will. I decided to go completely with felt for the base of the jar and then simply adhere to the jar! You could basically do the same thing with any jar for any theme. I love the idea of changing them out for holidays and birthdays to coordinate with other decor! I chose to had a little sparkle to both jars for the sake of the contest and just bc, well, I love sparkle. Danielle shot these adorable pictures of the completed jars with our two little models. We would love to have your vote when the contest begins but I again there will be no begging or hounding :) Enjoy!
