Hi everyone, I hope you had a wonderful festive season and New Year celebration, we had a quiet time at home which was good. Toasted some marshmallows on our new fire pit for New Years, when it wasn't raining lol!
I'm almost recovered from my surgery too, all is good so far, and I'm looking forward to a busy 2022!
It's time to start the year with our Seize the Birthday challenges, and Colleen has chosen blue and grey as our theme.
Our party guest for this month is Vicky Hayes and she and my team mates have some wonderful cards to inspire you.
Remember, you can always play along with our anything goes birthday option too if blue and grey aren't your thing!
Hope to see you in the gallery.
I feel a bit rusty on the old butterfly front lol!
I'm linking up to these challenges:

What a striking card Cathy and the tonal blues look fabulous x. Quiet our end too, which is just how we like it x. Great to hear about your recovery, it takes times but glad you are nearly there x.
Two beautiful butterflies Cathy and love the die cut rings using a piece of blue/grey inked scrap, shows they are always worth keeping. x
Love your pretty blue butterflies Cathy. They look great perched on those die cut circles.
What a creative and unique design Cathy! I love those two butterflies surrounding the rings! this is amazing!
What a beautiful card Cathy! I love that you die cut the circles from the blue and grey scrap - it's so effective, especially with those vibrant butterflies. It's great to hear that you're recovering well and looking forward to a busy 2022. Happy new year! Vicky x

LOVE those background circles! This card rocks :)
A fun background for the butterflies and a charming birthday card. I like their silver centers. The marshmallows sound yummy.
Pretty card, Cathy! Your butterflies always look fantastic. I love marshmallows so New Year's sounds right up my alley! I am glad to hear you are doing well post-surgery! I hope 2022 is good for you, too! Take care!
A gorgeous CAS card Cathy, happy new year and yes hope you're all recovered and up for a great creative year, Robyn
Looks so cool! I love those sketchy rings, they remind me of ripples on water, since the color is blue too, and the butterflies look like they're resting on top. Fabulous card!
This is STUNNING!!! Very bold and beautiful. Love those rings.
Beautiful card using the toppings.
Looks like your year is off to a good start… so happy surgery went well and you are on the mend! Sending healing hugs. 💕
