About Me

Hi! Michelle Houghton here.  I am the wife to an amazing husband and the mother of two beautiful girls in Iowa.  I am a busy stay-at-home mom, teaching aerobics at our local YMCA as well as doodling and Copic classes both on-line and across the US and Canada.

Prior to motherhood, I was an art teacher and I love being able to continue sharing my art through card making and scrapbooking techniques.  I have been scrapbooking for about 20 years and coloring with Copic markers for the last 10 years.  When I first tried Copics I fell in love and have since gotten both my Certification and Intermediate Certification from Imagination International Inc., the United States distributor of Copic Markers. After about 5 years of teaching Copic classes on-line I began teaching for III as a Regional Instructor, I also ran their Copic In The Craft Room site and helped create new curriculum for their Certification Team. In 2018, with III discontinuing their Copic curriculums, I am starting my latest adventure running Copic In The Craft Room on my own and creating Copic College, large weekend coloring events that will be offered across the US.  Bottom line: I love to teach! Teaching live and on-line has been an amazing adventure!
