Happy Memorial Day...Today we would like to introduce to you, Ingvild Bolme. She is the designer behind Prima's Comfort Craft tools, the ever-handy Chalk Edgers, and Shabby Chic metals and resins.

My name is Ingvild Bolme from Norway, mother to little Iselina (5.5 years), who also is my biggest scrapbook inspiration. I discovered scrapbooking in 1996, and, since 1997, have been totally addicted to this amazing craft. My style can vary a bit after the pictures I scrap or the occasion I design for, but there are always lots of details on my works, simply because I love to put on lots of embellish and try out different techniques. I also love the vintage and romantic style and often choose that style if possible. I love photography and design, and I simply love everything within this craft. Prima is my heart brand, and I dare to say that Prima's products has shaped my style in scrapbooking to what it is today.
You can see more of Ingvild's work on her personal site:
The Comfort Craft Tools are an ergonomic line that give you the comfort and support you might need for those detailed scrapbook projects. The line includes a craft knife, self-healing craft mats (available in two sizes), and the all-in-one distressing tool. This distressing tool will make all of your other distressing tools obsolete. It has a sanding edge, heavy grate distressing edge (with removable bed), edge distresser, bone fold, wire brush, and rub-on tool. This is a must have in your arsenal of scrapbooking supplies.
Also available are the amazing chalk edgers. These come with a handle already built onto the ink pad for ease in holding. The iron shape reaches well into those tight corners and the broad pad will cover larger areas quickly.
Here are a few of the chalk colors available.
Along with the handy tools Invild has designed a beautiful line of embellishments done in metal and resin.
The Shabby Chic line is full of wonder and whimsy fit for any design and style. The pieces can be altered to match your color schemes as well! Here are some projects Ingvild designed using some of her products.
