Candy Winner & New Martha Stewart Candy

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to make you all wait all day for the promarker candy winner. We're having pretty icky weather here. Seems like as soon as the power comes on it goes right back off again. It hasn't really stayed on long enough for me to post.

On to the winner of the August Promarker Autumn Collection.

I printed everyones name on a slip of paper, folded the paper in half, mixed and tossed them in a bowl, and then let my son pull out the winning name. He's to little to have a clue what's going on but he was super excited to be the center of attention. Our entire family cheered when he picked out a slip of paper. This just made him 10 times more excited and proud, so I guess from now on my little man is gonna be my random number generator, lol.

And the winner is.............

Catherine from Vidhu Creations

Congratulations Catherine!!

Send me an email with your address and I'll get your new markers to you.

cuddlebugcuties@gmail.com

I really enjoyed to marker candy. The next time I place an order for markers and my drawing pencils I'll add a few extra for candy.

Well on to Septembers blog candy.

I have a nice lot of Martha Stewart papercrafting items.

Here's what's included:

8X8 Paper Pad with 36 double-sided sheets

14 piece adhesive labels

flower gemstone stickers

3 yards ribbon pack

16 feet of paper tape

 If you want to be entered in the September Candy Drawing be a follower and add you name to the link list below.

That's the only requirement.

I'd love it and would be very grateful if you post a pic of it on your sidebar, but it is not required to enter.
 Good luck everyone.

And just a little note,
I put to many columns in my last drawing and my sidebar kinda cut off the names, sorry for that but I didn't want anyone to be worried that I didn't notice. Inlinkz gave me a full list so that I could double check and make sure that everyone was included in the drawing. I made this candy a column smaller so hopefully everyone's names will fit and be seen.

Bunches of Hugs,
 Anna

Romantic Arabelle Digital Stamp

Hi everyone, 

I'm having a pretty late night here. It's already almost 1 am and I'm not even close to having enough done so that I can go to bed, lol. It's been a busy day but a really good one too.

Even though I had tons on my plate today, I took a little me time and drew this little cutie.

I think she has that sweet romantic look to her.

Hallows Eve

Hey everyone,

I've been hard at work on Eve.

Here's a pic of the original sweet and romantic Eve.

And here's your new and spooky Hallows Eve:

I think she turned out great. She still looks sweet but now she's perfect for Halloween projects. 

This is my cutie with the paper that inspired me to draw her.

Once I finished my project, even more inspiration hit. I love the background paper and I now want to draw my own. I will be releasing a few Halloween backgrounds by early September.

Hallows Eve will be free through Aug. 26, 2012.

Enjoy coloring and crafting with her but please give me, Anna Stillwell at Cuddlebug Cuties, credit for drawing her.

There's only one more week left on my promarker blog candy. If you haven't signed up yet check it out here.

A Bit On The Spooky Side

When I first start drawing a new cuddlebug I rarely have a plan for where I want the picture to go. I just create a character then elaborate on it from there. 

My latest drawing started out as a cute and pretty girl. Even though she was adorable I decided that I wanted to put her in a scene; to give her a purpose. But what?. 

I recently purchased some Halloween paper craft items and have been truly inspired by them. I quickly decided this new cutie needed to go a bit more on the spooky side.

Eve Cuddlebug Cuties

This is just a rough sketch of where Eve's headed. 

I'm still working on cleaning her up but I will have her available for free later this week.

She will be the first of my Halloween collection, with a few more digis being released by early September.

If you'd like to craft with my original sketch of Eve please feel free to, but give me Anna Stillwell at Cuddlebug Cuties credit for drawing her.

And please check back later for the finished Halloween Eve.

Hugs,

Anna

Haley Digital Stamp

When I purchased the Promarker blogcandy, I bought a few new markers for myself too. Once they arrived in the mail I couldn't wait to color something. So I sketched out this cutie to try out my new colors with.

              Haley Cuddlebug Cuties

Skin: Promarkers: vanilla, ivory, blush, and satin

Hair: Prismacolor: light mocha, light walnut, cinnamon toast, and brick white

Clothing: Copic: BV04, BV13V and B63

I used a handful of Prismacolors new brush tip markers on her hair. This was my first time trying them. Now I'm not a marker expert, but I loved them. They blended so well and the colors are so pretty. I will definitely be adding more of them to my next order.

 Haley will be free through Aug. 18, 2012.
Enjoy coloring and crafting with her but please give me, Anna Stillwell at Cuddlebug Cuties, credit for drawing her.

Mac is Back

Good morning everyone,

It's been a crazy week. You know the kind where you run in circles wondering how far away the finish line is, lol. I got a little behind and even though Mac came down as a freebie I didn't get a chance to put her in my Etsy store. It was my goal to get her in there before this weekend comes to an end but I received a wonderful comment from a follower that has been around pretty much since day 1, who had missed downloading her. 

I didn't have it in my heart to charge a loyal follower for something that they missed. I always find her comments so encouraging. I'm still new to blogging and putting my work up for others. It can be a little intimidating. There are times before I hit publish where I close my eyes and hope that at least one person will like my cuddlebug drawing. Every comment left by my wonderful followers makes me smile and inspires me to make new cuties to share.

I truly appreciate every comment from every person. You guys are all wonderful. Thank you so very much.

*****
So incase you still need Mac, here she is for a limited time.

Mac will be up for free until Aug. 17, 2012.
Enjoy coloring and crafting with her but please give me, Anna Stillwell at Cuddlebug Cuties, credit for drawing her.

Kyra Free Digital Stamp

Good morning everyone. Kelly came down as a freebie today, but I wouldn't take a stamp down without giving you something new to color.

This is Kyra. I had so much fun drawing her little boho outfit. My mom has already told me she wants the dress Kyra's wearing. Sadly I can't even sew a straight line, lol. I did tell her that I would be glad to design clothes then she make them. It could be our next business. It made us both laugh, but you never know. I'll keep the idea in my back pocket just incase.

Kyra Digital Stamp

Kyra will be available for free through Aug. 7, 2012.

Enjoy coloring and crafting with her but please give me credit for drawing her.

Just a quick note:

If this is your first time here I have another digi and candy that will be available for one more week here.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable week.

Hugs,

Anna
