Hi all! It is SUNDAY fun day. Hope you all are relaxing and enjoying the day. I know we have not done the Simply Sunday Challenge for a bit at Getting Cricky but that is because we are switching things up a bit as you may have heard. But it is still the same fun and this week I am super excited because it is DISNEY fun! I love doing Disney themed projects. Growing up in Southern California I had a year round pass to Disneyland and LOVED IT! I still have lots of great memories from Disneyland, like being chased around by Captain Hook or even though the characters are not suppose to talk Tigger hugging me and saying "I like her because she is the cuddlest", like I said lots of great memories. SO anyways! I had fun creating a couple cards for the Simply Sunday Challenge and may have a couple more for this week!
Today my kiddos happen to be invited to a birthday party and the theme is Minnie Mouse. So I made this card for their good friend to go with her fun Minnie themed present
Here is the front of the card. I made using Mickey Font Cricut Cartridge. It is cut at 6 inch and the number 5 is cut at 4 1/2
Here is the back of the card. I used K. Andrew Designs Of Mice & Lil Men (Mouse a -rrific) and Splastastic Summer (wishing you a, day)
A little close up of the wording...
Here are the stamps sets I used. You can just click on them and it should take you right to the place to order them! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. Through today (5-20-2012) if you enter promo code "newship" your order ships for free! What a deal right?
Here is another little card I made up. I copied the image of Mickey off the net. The starburst is from the Accents cartridge cut at two inches and the sentiment is from Of Mice & Lil Men

Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute. Kristal will donate $1 for every stamp set sold, retail or wholesale to the charity noted; and over time believes this will add up to some wonderful miracles for these special people. So you can feel good that each time you purchase a K Andrew Designs art stamp set, someone around the country is receiving some good help!

Okay are you ready for it!!!!
Here it is!
Okay so my hubby and I have this wonderful group of friends that we have know for a long time. One of the families actually introduced my hubby and I. Any way, although we are spread all over Minnesota and Wisconsin we still try to get together a couple times a year. This time it is at our place and I am sooo excited for them to come. Even though it is not until July I have been trying to come up with this for us to do and ways to welcome them. So I have come up with this "Bucket of fun" to help them feel welcome. I have to admit it is a work in progress though. I have a couple food items that I want to put in there but do not want to do that until closer to the time. I will post another picture in July when they are all done! I am in love with polka dots for some reason right now so I found this cute polka dot paper at Hobby Lobby. The ribbon is also from there. The word welcome is from Micky Font Cricut Cartridge cut at an inch. The sentiment "buckets of fun" comes from K. Andrew Designs Splashtastic Summer.
Here is a close up of the lid...
Inside so far this is what I have... a splash ball for the kids... Have a ball seemed appropriate for the sentiment (Splashtastic Summer Stamp Set)
A kit with tooth paste, floss, soap, shampoo, lotion, conditioner (see saving that stuff from the hotel eventually comes in handy) I used the sentiment "From one fashionista to another, cleave right? (From the Fashionable Friends Stamp Set)
A flashlight so they can see there was around in the house when it is dark or outside when we do campfires. Then sentiment "Shine on!" came from Splashtastic Summer.
Here is a little look see at all the stuff inside. I have a little room to work with!
I also thought I would make these up for the guests. If you saw my earlier post I used this for teacher appreciation but think it would be cute to have around the house. The sentiment "water you up to" is from Splashtastic Summer as well.
Okay a little bit of fun news!!!!

It is Teacher Appreciation Week in case you did not know so I want to extend my appreciation to all you teachers out there! You have a very hard job at times but you are molding minds and creating a better future for all so THANK YOU!!! I made teacher appreciation water bottles for the teachers my hubby works with. I found the idea on Pinterest! Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE Pinterest! Well I do :) Almost as much as I love K. Andrew Design Stamps :) So of course I used the two together.
For the water bottles I did for the teachers I did not use my stamps but I did make one for my son's bus driver who is wonderful! She is so great with the kids and we just love her. So this is the water bottle I made HERE....
I made it using the Splastastic Summer Set from K. Andrew Designs. I think it is pretty cute. You can purchase that set
Then for the teachers I made ones that said Thank you for quenching the student's thirst for knowledge on the ones I made for my hubby's school and the ones I made for my son's teachers say
Thank you for quenching my thirst for knowledge. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week, Love Noah
