Throw An Amazing Birthday with Magda!
Magda Cortez just celebrated a birthday and has the best set of creations for a beautiful birthday party! She uses the new Off to the Races set to make this amazing birthday spread. We love these clever place cards!
Magda shares a wonderful tutorial for these projects as well. What a great set to re-create! You can't go wrong with beautiful paper rosettes.
"I was a little skeptical when I got this paper collection.. first I think.. Horses?? Mmm.. how difficult will be.. but once I start looking I fall in love! It is not only horses!!! It has all the romantic glam of the vintage era how cool is that!! So I come up with a great B-Day Idea!! Because October is my B-day why not prepare something Vintage-Shabby for my B-day! And I made this Place Cards in the shape of a Ribbon like the ones they use in the races! And later I found a cut file from AVG Attic I have since long time ago with a shape of a Cup.. that will be perfect for my centerpiece! Also the Patterns and Solids now are in a 12x12 Pads and are so useful! Now we are not guilty to cut or precious designs to use the solid side.. now we have a whole big pad of solids!! I just can say! Off to the Races and Patterns & Solids make my day!!" ~Magda
Tip: If you don’t have a lot of time and you are in a hurry make a Rosette Ribbon and use it as a beautiful tag for your last minute gifts.. they are so easy and fast!

Thank you Magda. I thought the same thing when I saw the horses. I just needed to look at this line in a different way. The colors are beautiful. Guess I better run out and buy this line too.

I always find that a Graphic 45 collection with one theme (such as race horses) can be used in so many ways - these are one perfect example!
