Stenciled Halloween/Fall Pillow Challenge Part II

Happy Friday, my Cutting Edge Stencils friends! Did you catch our post yesterday on using stencils to decorate for the Fall/Halloween season? If not you can read it here. Our Halloween Stencils make DIY decorating fun and easy so it's no surprise when Stephanie, from Casa Watkins asked us to participate in a Stenciled Halloween/Fall Pillow Challenge. Come see how these bloggers put their spin on our spooky spider, eerie crow, and plump pumpkin stencils!

What is the Create & Share: Stenciled Halloween/Fall Pillow Challenge? Each month Stephanie holds a Create & Share competition where she challenges her oh-so creative blogger pals to a friendly little craft-off. This month they chose to partner with Cutting Edge Stencils using our Halloween Accent Pillow Kits. Each participant was able to select one of our new Halloween Stencils of their choice and they were tasked with creating a unique accent pillow. Awesome, isn't it? We think so! The projects are in and the results have blown our minds! Be sure to check out the other 16 DIY projects and the special stencil giveaway.

We love a good challenge especially when you can see how clever each blogger can be using the similar stencils. Between today and Monday, we will be sharing the projects on our blog and providing links to all of the participating bloggers so feel free to hop around the blogs and enter our stencil giveaway.
