Brand Ambassador 2018-2019
Babi Kind – USA
"My name is Barbara Kind, but everyone calls me Babi. I am a Brazilian currently living in NJ, USA, with my husband and my 5-year-old daughter.
I have been scrapbooking since my daughter was born and it turned out to be an amazing journey and business opportunity for me. Now, I spend most of my time taking care of my family, crafting and running a small home business.
I love to create layouts, cards and mini albums and everything vintage and floral. I also love to teach and share my passion for scrapbooking with the Brazilian community.

2 Shabby Chic Layouts
By Babi Kind
I’m so happy to share with you my first projects as a Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador. It’s an honor to be on a team with so many talented people! Thank you, G45 family for this great opportunity!
My first project is a layout with two of my favorite collections: Once Upon a Springtime and Baby 2 Bride. I love how delicate these collections are.
I used a “selfie” photo that I took with Olivia earlier this year. She loves to Snapchat and it was fun to create a layout with this photo. These filters make magic, doesn’t it?
Tip: I fussy cut a lot of flowers from the papers to decorate and add volume to the page. It’s a great way to make your project beautiful without spending a lot of money with embellishments and flowers.
Tip: I like to stamp some simple images such as small text or polka dots to a layout when the papers are light colors. This adds some contrast to the page without taking the delicateness away.
Tip: Another tip is to add some simple die cut pieces along with the fussy cut papers to create the layers. For this page I use squares and flowers.
You can follow the step by step tutorial below.

For my next layout “Dream” I used another beautiful and delicate collection: Botanical Tea.
Tip: I like to add a piece of cardboard in between the main paper and the other papers. It adds dimension and volume to the project. You can used a cardboard on a card or other projects too.
Tip: If you don’t have a photo that matches the papers, use a classic black and white on your page. The photo is the focal point in any layout, so it must go along with the paper.
Tip: You don’t necessarily need to show the whole chipboard. You can add a nice touch by mixing or hiding it with the other embellishments.
Tip: Sprinkle white gesso for a shabby look.
