Guest designer for Ingvild Bolme

I'm honored to be the guest designer for the over talented Ingvild Bolme that is surely a source of a great inspiration.....





 Here is the interview from Ingvild's blog:

When did you discover paper craft, and why do you still create within this craft? 
I discovered this great paper art about 5 years ago and I continue in this journey because it offere me endless ways of expression and every time I'm doing it it's like the first time I did it: full of inspiration and prepared to follow new ideas.

Where do you find inspiration to your work?

I always try to make something new so sometimes I find myself thinking about how to use items and techniques in a new way.

Where, and when do you prefer to create, and how do you prefer to have it around you?
(
I always create in my scrap room and I love to do it with some good music that make my hands just go and create.

How does your scrap place usually look like? 

My scraproom is always a bit messy when I'm creating but I thnk this is just proper to creativity because sometimes even the mess contributes to a great final goal. Creativity is always free of rules.

Do you have any favorite Prima – Ingvild Bolme line products? 

I just love the Distressing Tool because it gives me the possibility to distress my projects in every way, every surface and every dimension.



 And here are the projects that I created inspired by Ingvild's extraordinary products and the Ingvild's view on my interpretation:

Christmas Surprise Ball

 Above; Jana made this wonderful Christmas surprise ball and so beautifully decorated it in winter and Christmas colors..
 Above; The beautifully distressed tag attached to the ball says "May all YOUR Christmases...". Jana used Comfort-Craft Tools - Distressing Tool and Chalk Edgers "Dark Rust" to achieve the vintage looking edges on the tag.

 Above; The creative altered ball can be opened, and inside Jana so amazingly creatively added three Junkyard Findings "Typo Bulbs" with the words "Love", "Family" and "memories" printed on, together with some thin cords, all set together as a fun cluster with an electricity look. Now, how clever is that?! On top of the cluster she added a vintage looking banner with the words "... be bright!" to finish the sentence from the tag attached outside of the ball. Also note how detailed she covered the inside of the whole ball, including the lid.
Above; A close-up of the cool and creative "electrical cluster" made of Junkyard Findings "Typo Bulbs" and cords looking like thin wires.
 Above; Chalk Edgers with chalk fluid ink from the Comfort-Craft Tools collection which are available in 40 different natural colors. Jana used the color "Dark Rust" on the her tag to achieve the brown colored edges.
Above; Comfort-Craft Distressing Tool. This is a multi functional tool with 7-8 tools in one! As on this image, it comes with two metal rasps, one fine and one rough. It can easily be replaced with a simple step. The rasp can be used on several soft materials for a distressed and "used" look. On the top of the tool there is a fine metal file, which gives a more soft effect then the rasp. On one side edge there is a metal edge scraper to scratch on paper edges etc, and on the other side of the tool there is a bone folder. The bone folder can be used to fold cards etc, and also as a "nail effect tool", which I like to use to press down paper edges etc instead of using my finger nails. With a simple pull you can take of the lid on the back of the tool. Underneath there you will find a metal brush to brush and scratch on paper, photo etc for a scratched and grunge look. On the tip of the lid there is a shape that can be used to rub on rub-ons. Jana used this Distressing Tool on her paper tag together with the Chalk Edger to achieve the vintage looking edges.   
Above; An amazing Christmas tree all created by the talented Jana! She decorated a Christmas tree shape with many tiny handmade frosted balls, colored with touches of Chalk Edger "Cold Ice". Look at this wonderful frosty looking Christmas tree! Isn't this beautiful and so creatively done?!

Above: Look at the amazing frosted details Jana made on this project. On the front of the tree she added the sentence "we believe" using Prima chipboard letters written "we" and a Junkyard Findings "Typo Bulbs" with the word "believe" on. I just LOVE the look of her tiny little blue balls! 
Above; The Junkyard Findings "Typo Bulbs" Jana used as a part of the sentence on her amazing winter project. These bulbs are totally flat on the backside, so they are "half bulbs", and fit perfectly on to all kinds of projects. Each pack has 6 bulbs with 6 different words printed on. They are not "breakable", they are solid and made of strong material. The Junkyard Findings bulbs are available also in two different designs, large vintage designs, and small sized ones. The large vintage ones are the ones Jana used on her Christmas ball shared in this post, and the small ones she used on the next project coming up here below.

 Above; Jana are not only talented on projects, but she also does amazing layouts. Here you can see "Smile", a wonderful layout with a happy theme and great little details. I really love how she use so much negative spaces combined with amazing tiny details to look at. Wonderful art in every way with lots of great techniques. And I love, love love the cool color combinations used here!
 Above; Here you can see how clever she used the "Small Typo Bulbs" from the Junkyard Findings collection. The thin cords with colors on are just amazing, truly creative and really inspiring!
Above; On many of the tiny little details Jana used Chalk Edgers in the color "Cold Ice" to add cool little touches. Really beautiful. Thank you Ingvild for hosting me on your blog and thank you for inspiring us with your products and especially with your marvelous art!

  9. These oils have been tested and proven to be effective against a variety of warts.
    After all, they can be readily sourced from the internet. Others think tanning and sunning themselves will dry up their skin and pimples to
    eliminate their acne.

  10. Occasionally laser surgery will be used in order to deal with the
    problem. Touching your chin frequently will transfer these
    germs and dirt to the chin area which may result in
    acne on chin. Chocolate and junk foods are often blamed
    for the cause of acne.

  11. Apparently, the duct tape, or any other tape, suffocates the wart as it cuts off oxygen and alloww
    the body's immune system to kill the wart. Individuals who have suffered with acne look forward to the day when they can look in the mirror and see skin that is pimple and blemish-free. Extended hair can cause your physique pimples to get worse if you do not wash it typically, and make confident that it is genuinely cleanse.
