CHA

So Tami and I made it to the 2013 Winter CHA in Anaheim representing Creative Passion.  We had so much fun catching up, creating and seeing the new and improved from the crafting world.  Over the next couple days I am going to post some of the things I made and a few that I saw.   Many of you have probably been looking at all the reviews out there already so I am going to show you the cards and projects I completed or am in process on with the new products!  To start off though here are the two of us lookin’ good!

We really had a great time!  Thank you so much Tami for joining me in CA and playing with me for the weekend!

New Classes

I have two brand new classes ready to run for the new year and one returning for a second run.  Through MIDNIGHT tonight you can get them at 10% off.  I’ll do a little more information on each as they get right down to the wire but you can click on the class button to go to the sales page today and get in on the early bird specials and read all the yummy details.

Inky Doodles is running live starting January 10th, this class ran over the summer but is coming back for a second round of fun for those who missed it.

Copic Ink Effects starts January 8th.

And Doodles in Technicolor will begin February 21st.

Hope I see you in class!

Subway Art

I have a really fun new layout over at Get It Scrapped!  It is a retirement gift for my Dad and lucky me/perfect timing I got to gift it to him just a few days ago in person!  I had the best time getting messy and putting this all together so I hope you will take a peek.  HERE

While you are there, I also wrote a few tips about creating your own Subway Art like the one I created.  Check HERE for the link to see the How To’s!

I am off to play in the sun with the Houghton Grandparents for Thanksgiving but be watching you in box if you are a subscriber to my newsletter!  There is some great Black Friday deals coming out at Creative Passion including old favorites and better yet new, new, new!

**HINT – Get those fingers warmed up!

Copic Blog Hop!

Good morning and welcome to a very special blog hop!  I am excited to announce my participation and publication in the new Copic Coloring Guide, Level 3: People!

Authors Colleen Schaan and Marianne Walker have partnered up again with the team at Annie’s and some of the most talented artists and designers in the industry to bring you a quality publication packed full of techniques, theory, tutorials, and inspiration.  The 64-page book is the next step in the Coloring Guide series, offering information and educational material for crafters of all skill levels.

From the how and why behind picking colors and coloring skin to the tips and techniques for coloring hair to the helpful hints on how to create realistic looking clothing and fabric, this book presents information in an easy-to-follow format.

An included CD contains all of the hand-drawn images used in the tutorial section of the book, along with the assembly instructions for all of the projects, and a number of blank reference charts.

Each participating designer is hopping today to give you a peak at their favorite project from the book – and a chance to WIN your own autographed copy!
Here is one of the projects I have in the new book, the beautiful stamp is from A Day For Daisies.

To help kick off the celebration of the new book… each designer on the hop is giving away an autographed copy of the book…signed not only by Colleen and Marianne, but by the individual designer too!  Please comment on this post for your chance to win your copy of mine!  Commenting will be closed midnight Friday October 26.  Winners will be announced on the individual designer’s blog.

 

Michelle Houghton – You are here 🙂
Can’t wait for your copy?

Copic Coloring Guide Level 3: People is now available at many stamping and scrapbooking stores. Visit your local store today and ask about availability.  It is also sold through the Annie’s catalog, accessible online at Annie’s.

For those of you visiting my blog for the very first time please consider subscribing to my mailing list over at the right.  I only send out about 4-5 notes a year announcing the on-line classes I am teaching and the projects I am involved in like this amazing blog hop! In January I will be teaching a new Copic Ink Effects class and you could be one of the first to hear about it and get in on the early bird deal!
