Vintage Inspired Illustrations I’ve just added my newest set of digi stamp illustrations to the shop at www.buddly.com!  This set was inspired by vintage family photos and the colors in the paper set reflect that vintage feel. You’ll find roses and forget-me-nots, a baby doll, and a favorite book with these sweet girls.  The sentiments also […]

A Cupcake Kind of Day!

It really *IS* a cupcake kind of day. . . I think I’m going to let my own little Chef Alonzo have free rein in the kitchen for awhile.  Cupcakes are his specialty, which is what inspired this sweet digi stamp in the first place.  Chocolate cupcakes.  Or white.  I don’t much care at this […]

Celebrating One Year with Cuddly Buddly!

It’s hard to believe that one year has passed by so very quickly!  On this day last year I officially started selling artwork at www.CuddlyBuddly.com and it has been 12 months full of growth and opportunity for me.  I’ve learned so much working with Kim and her team, and they’ve made sure that all of […]

Spring is In The Air!

Well, not really.  I had a lovely walk in the snow this morning.  For a moment there was a break in the clouds and I caught a glimpse of that gorgeous contrast of clear, bright blue sky against the clean, newly fallen snow.  It’s magical, really.  When a kind neighbor offered me a ride I […]

When Time Zones Are Our Friends

Guess what!  It’s already tomorrow on a beautiful little Scottish island I know of, and I don’t have to wait one more moment, or count down again. . . because it’s here!!! I’m so excited about ALL of the new products, as you’ve read in my recent blog posts – but perhaps the most exciting for […]

Mmmmm, Strawberries!

More new digi stamps have been added to our shop at www.CuddlyBuddly.com!  We want to thank you for the enthusiastic response to our new selection of line art, and we’d love to see what fabulous creations you’re making with it! In addition to our little bucket of strawberries, we have the flowers from our April Blossoms […]

New From My Studio

New and exciting things are happening since I began with Cuddly Buddly.  I’m excited to be exploring new frontiers and enthusiastic about what we’re now able to offer to customers.  I know that many of you have been hoping for line-art versions of some of our artwork so that you can color them yourself.  Our […]

Happy Thought Indeed!

The end of February is drawing near, and it’s time to start planning for Spring.  I’ve already started being drawn toward the seed packets in the grocery stores – so many pretty colors and textures!  I can hardly wait.  Of course, I’ll have to.  There’s still snow covering most of the flowerbeds and almost all […]

Warm Winter Wishes

All Kinds of Love Week - Valentine's Day | Barbara Anne Williams www.bitsofivory.com

Brrrr – It’s COLD outside!  I don’t love slipping and sliding all the way along my morning walks.  I really don’t like slipping and sliding and falling on those walks.  But there’s something so magical and beautiful about a world all white with snow, and tree branch tips covered in shimmering ice.  I’d be lying […]

Volterra at Bramble & Vine

I just added a new set of magnets to my shop at Bramble & Vine featuring photos from Volterra, Italy.  These are perfect for architecture enthusiasts and lovers of all things Tuscan or Italian.  Realistically, though, I realize that their biggest draw is that they’re the literary home of the Volturi from the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer.  […]
