Carpet Cleaning Foam


I'm a sucker for a Sketch these days, and I couldn't resist this one from Sweet Stampin:


I enjoyed playing with this card, even though I should have been doing other things! Shame the stitching doesn't stand out a little more and I could have positioned it better, but hey-ho! You'll know by now, I'm a sucker for Pure Innocence Stamps. Give her an ice cream and you know I will just have to have her! This one is called Make Mine a Double. Too right!! :)

The other day, I noticed Sweet Cheeks walking on by with a can of carpet cleaning foam tucked under his arm. He loves 'helping' me to spray this stuff on the carpet, but I wasn't too worried as he can't really activate the can on his own. Several minutes of silence passed and I was happy he'd given up. He gets cross if he can't do something right now and it would have resulted in banging of some kind. A little later, he came downstairs again, all pleased with himself. 'I just cleaned the carpet Mummy'. 'That's great, thank you for helping Mummy. Which carpet did you clean?' 'My bedroom Mummy, I used foam and then I wiped it up with my flannel...'

I would like to enter this card at:

    Seriously Dude...you need to get one of those elasticky-dog leads so you can whoosh Mr Sweet Cheeks back at the flick of a switch. That way you can carry on enjoying yourself crafting n' blogging n' eying up man-candy outta the window & still be a 'responsible' parent.

    What a gorgeous card! Love this colour combo and the cute girlie with her ice cream. However, "make mine a double" says G&T to me!! As for SC getting the hang of the cleaning ... do you fancy hiring him out? I've got plenty of flannels. Great to have you playing along at Sweet Stampin'. Hugs, Tracey xx

    Oh i don't envy you this little kids stuff at all. My girls are too old now to be playing with cleaning products ... LOL! I'm lucky if I can get the princess to dip to her precious hands in water to wash the pots ... at times you'd think i'd asked her to donate me her kidney!!!

    Anyway, your card is just stunningly gorgeous and those papers are delicious. Love the paper pieced frock!

    Hi Faye, what a great card - the paper piecing reminds me of a dress I had when I was about 19 (tooo many years ago!) which I loved to bits. Lovely story about sweet cheeks too! Sarah

    Yet another fabulous card, I really like the image it's so sweet. Love the papers too, they're fab.

    Hmmm maybe the use of the flannel was the beginning of a cunning plan by Sweet Cheeks to have you always clean up for him so you can avoid such disasters...

    carpet cleaning Try to choose a company which covers your area, because if you hire one which is from the other part of the city, the service will be more expensive.
    Watch out not to be cheated with the price, too. When you hire a carpet cleaning company, ask for some kind of a contract, in which the price is included. carpet cleaning London
