I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

I sure did. We had a lovely gathering at my eldest daughters house!
Lots of yummy food, fun games. good times :)

Now it's time to think about the new year ahead,
Do you have any New Years resolutions?

I have a few. Some of them involve my health and some of them involve crafting :)

Our challenge this week is New Years Resolutions. Create a project to include New Years Resolutions and don't forget the die cut!

The sponsor for this weeks challenge is Kitten Scraps and you have a chance to win a $20 certificate to their store.

One of my New Years resolutions is to get healthier. I am terrible about drinking water and I want to get better about it. I decided to up-cycle a water bottle to encourage me to drink more water.

I used a cut file from Silhouette Studio and a font to create a vinyl saying for my water bottle.

I cut some colored vinyl rectangles that I placed behind the time reminders.

Supplies Used: vinyl in white, blue, pink, green, yellow, purple; Silhouette Studio cut file; Abalone font; water bottle from Michaels

I can't wait to see your creation so pop on over to the Cut It Up blog and join us in the fun!
