A gorgeous card,Steph.We're going out for xmas dinner this year [14 of us] but we're going on xmas eve evening and then we can slob around xmas day eating junk nibbles,opening pressies,playing silly games,watching films etc...and not having to set foot in the kitchen!!
Hi Steph, Gorgeous card! This stamp is so cute and I love the layout.

Amazing card Steph! Love the yummy SU papers and this manga santa girl is toooo cute! Fab attention to detail! Sorry not heard of caterers that deliver on christmas day, but I would hazard a guess that it may be quite expensive! Get saving! Lol!
Hugs, Vicky ~x~

Another beautiful card, love all the detail. Good Luck in hunting for a delivery of a Christmas Dinner. If you had of lived closer you could of shared ours always do too much! Take CareX:)
Oh, this card is super super cute! I can't tell you how much i LOVE IT :) I wish I was the first comment, these images are adorable.
I don't know about where you live but I know people who have had Christmas dinner catered at home so you should definitly be able to do it. I am a bit of a freak in that I actually enjoy all that stuff about christmas, but I organise it so far ahead of time it's not really stressful, like I said, I'm nuts :)
Besutiful card hun , love this image , she is so sweet x
Oh, what beautiful card, Steph! Lovely image, gorgeous coloring and cute papers and embellishments. I love this card.
Have a great day.
Hugs.
Hi Steph, love this card. I have just ordered this stamp, can't wait to get it.

Hi Steph,
Awesome card !!! Love the flower.
Overhere (Belgium) are a lot of caterers who deliver at home on Christmas day ... It's very populair ... But I think it's just a little bit to far for you , LOL !!!

Very cute card, Steph!
I don't like cooking, but i'm lucky to have a husband proffesional cook! It will be dinner for just our family, so it's ok. I think this must be proper Xmas for our kids. With all the stories and Santa.

Great card, as always Steph :)
It's only the beginning of November, you've got plenty of time to practice until the BIG day :) lol.
Good luck!

This is a beautiful Christmas card Steph. Great detail and a very cute image.
I never do roasts so the thought of cooking a Christmas dinner brings me out in hot sweats, me and hubby just have snacks all day long on Christmas Day and enjoy rebelling against convention! The main thing is to enjoy your day whatever you do.
Hugs, Clare x
Ah this is so sweet Steph, your colour schemes are always great. Your Xmas catering idea sounds great too! Hope you find someone in time.
I'm really enjoying my papertrey inc stamps at the moment. I'm finding funky ways to use them for all occassions as I only bought the sentiments/borders sets. I think I may have to order again ;)
Hi Steph
Why not organise your own food Steph, there are some wonderful things in M&S that are easy to cook even if you are not a cook. You could have a practice run to make sure you are happy with everything. I think caterers will be very expensive for Xmas Day. You could also stray from the traditional turkey dinner and have something completely different that you can cook. Xmas pudding isn't a problem - microwave for a couple of minutes and you can even get brandy sauce or custard pre done. Come to me for some cooking lessons girly - I love cooking and it's a piece of cake if you pardon the pun (HA)
Vegetables - all go in the veg steamer for about 20 minutes, meat is cooked per kilo or per pound, roast potatoes - easy but you can buy them pre done same as yorkshire pudding (Aunt Bessie).
Doesn't need to take hours honest Hon

Your card is gorgeous Stephanie, I love Miss Clause, she is one of my favourites!
Clairexx
Lovely card Steph she is so cute I may have to look into a purchase xx
Hi Stephanie I have heard of dinners to your door but I think most of the ones I am thinking of are USA! I guess you could do a local search? I did look but as I said the ones I found are USA so you would be paying for shipping and also still have to cook it I guess?....... If I lived closer I would come do it for you I am an ex chef so would not be any trouble! But alass I am in Cumbria a little far for popping over! TUT! shame! would have been fun!
Love your card beautiful as aways!
missed the first boat again! doh!
:0) have a great day and happy dinner hunting and crafting! :0)

Gorgeous card steph, super cute image fabby coloiuring as always. Thats sounds a great idea for Christmas lunch hope you fnd someone.sue.

Such a beautiful card Steph, I love that image. Each year I seem to buy more presents on line soooo much easier. Caterers on Christmas day mmmm good luck on that one!!! Have a happy Tuesday, take care Ann-Marie xxx
Super cute card. I haven't started my chrismas cards yet.... guess I'm running out of time soon...
really lovely, great work!
Hugs Simone
Supercute card :) I have most of these as well and I still didn't start to make the cards, I'm just coloring them ...
Gorgeous cute card Steph and fabby papers. Good luck with your Xmas dinner. Have you thought of hiring a cook/chef to cook the dinner, means you have to shop for everything and less expensive than caterers xx
Hai Steph, I love your card. She is so cute. I just started making christmas cards so these will come in handy. Hugs, Yvon
Morning Steph this is one cutie this morning. Fabulous papers and gorgeous image. I can't cook either lol so we just go to my MIL lol or go out. Hope find somewhere that will do it.
Pity you weren't nearer to me - you could come here for lunch!
Caterers for Christmas lunch? Wow! That could buy you a LOT of stash lol
I'd suggest Waitrose or M and S - that's like cooking by numbers or re-heating!
Very pretty card. I am always way to late for the giveaway.
Have a wonderful day
I love your card Steph! The image is absolutely adorable and it's laid out perfectly on this card! Love how you've adorned your bow!!
Hugs, Danielle
Christmas does seem to be approaching very quickly and as always ill struggle to get everything done. Im loving this christmas card you've made its stunning hunny. Hugs Linda x
Oh Steph this card is gorgeous, I never been a fan of disportioned people but I really like what you have done with her.
Kim xXx
Good shopping online !!
This card is very cute, congrulation.
*Hugs*
Since last year I sent/gave out 40 personal chrissy cards and then sent out 69 as thanks/chrissy cards for patients who so kindly gave me a christmas gift.....I've already made 13 cards.....and Christmas is still 7 weeks away. :) I seriously won't be making all of them as we are now in our busiest time of year for appointments, etc.....but I'll give it a decent crack. :)
Love you card....image is coloured perfectly (of course) and so festive without being OVER THE TOP.
Good luck with organising the food for your Christmas lunch. :)

Beautiful card and such a cute image.
Oh Steph I too get giddy at the thought of Christmas, glad it's not just me lol! Wouldn't it be great to have someone deliver everything Christmas Day...we go the in-laws! You probably know already but M&S do food to order but it's fully prepared and you just throw in the oven/microwave...they do boneless turkey that you just slice and they do a vegetable selection and a garnish all the trimming selection pack and gorgeous desserts. That's what I would do!!
Good luck with your search sweetie! hugs, Bonnie :) x
What an absolutely adorable stamp! Love your card Steph. Gorgeous!!
Oh, and good luck with the Christmas lunch thing. I hear you on the not cooking thing. I can't so it and I hate it! :) xx
Beautiful card Steph, the stamp is adorable. Love the papers and the sentiment :) I hope you can find a nice caterer on time for xmas ;)
Gorgeous card Steph, love the colours you have used. You lucky thing (christmas lunch). I enjoy cooking but for some unknown reason I think that christmas lunch takes a lot more work to cook than any other meal, but I do enjoy eating it and then having a sit and seeing if there's a good film on the telly to watch (with mum sleeping in the chair snoring lol she'd kill me if she saw that)
This is such a pretty card, Steph! Love the adorable image!
Oooh lovely card!
There is another award for you on my blog!
Hugs

Good luck with the xmas dinner thing, sweetie, hope you find someone, I was going to say that there is always Macdonalds if you get stuck, but I think that xmas day is the only day that they shut PMSL,....keeping fingers crossed, sweetie!
Hugs Tab xxx
