Welcome to the Team Blog Hop!

There is something to "Smile" about in the copic world that we are announcing! A little note about the card to celebrate the hop today. This is combining two Birdie Brown sets from MFT "Let's Hang Out" and "Sunflower Sweetheart". Colored up with my copic markers! NOW...on to the announcement!
The Copic Papercrafting Instructor and Design Teams would like to give a colorful “WELCOME” to the newest instructor joining us… Michelle Houghton!

Michelle has done a number of special events and demos for us over the years and we are thrilled to finally have her on our teaching team.  Michelle has a BS in Fine Arts and an MA in Teaching with years of experience teaching high school art, live workshops, and online crafting classes.

Michelle likes to work with a variety of mediums and styles, often experimenting and looking for unique and interesting ways to use them.    We look forward to working with her and can’t wait to see her in action!

And of course we can’t have a celebration without gifts… so we are giving away some great Copic prizes!

Join us in welcoming Michelle by visiting each of the blogs listed below for a chance to win.  Don’t forget to leave some love at each blog because EACH TEAM MEMBER will be giving away a Copic T-Shirt and a 7-piece Doodle Kit to one lucky winner.


Commenting will close at midnight on Sunday, July 6th and winners announced on individual blogs on Monday, July 7th.

Good evening Sherrie,
I think you must have seen the photograph of me fixing my mini when you coloured in this picture. This is the view that the old man who stopped and asked me if i needed a hand son, when i replied that i was ok and could fix it, he got a fright that i was a lassie in dungarees. Happy days when the mini was going but it was allergic to the rain,
thank you Sherrie,
crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
