I do believe this is a song by the Wiggles - I only know this because my friend's daughter is REALLY into them! My children missed the whole Wiggles phase (thank goodness for small favors!) but this song sticks in my mind.....a song about fruit salad! Which brings me to my post! It is my recipe card for this month's swap which was a side dish. I chose fruit salad and used my Tart and Tangy set since it was so perfect for the theme! Now, I had to make TWENTY of these which would normally be no problem - except I got a little ambitious with my stitching and boy oh boy, does my hand feel it! As you all know, I had surgery on my right hand and it gets very sore....I need to remember this when planning projects, lol! But, I have to say, I really do love the way it turned out, summery and bright, which is what I was aiming for. Here is a close-up of the recipe card so you actually see the details (if you want!) of the actual recipe. 
Everything on these cards is Stampin' Up! with the exception of the orange and fruit punch stickles I used on the fruit cut outs. I will leave you with the full recipe below. Have a wonderful day - I know I will, it is the last day of school and I am heading over to my daughter's school to watch her receive some awards and then summer vacation will have officially begun, WHOOHOO!!Card Recipe:
Paper - Kraft, Ruby Red, Whisper White and Naturals White card stock, Summer Picnic Designer Series paper
Stamps - Tart and Tangy, One Smart Cookie
Inks -Stampin' Write markers, Only Orange Classic stampin' pad
Accessories - Only Orange narrow grosgrain ribbon, mat stack and paper piercer, stampin' dimensionals

How fun Alex - these are great & yummy!
These are great! I can't wait to see my very own copy!
And my children were addicted to the wiggles.... at least we didn't have Barney. :)
These are fabulous Alex!!
These are so cute! Love that stamp set. I can sing the whole fruit salad wiggles song...unfortunately. LOL!
I love the way these turned out too :) They look great! Love the colours. And your stitching is as great as ever. Sorry it hurt your hand so. I still need to try your apple bread. I just don't like to cook so it will be a while before I try it. Sad, I know! But the fruit salad sounds simple enough. I may try that sooner! TFS!
Alex, these recipe cards are so pretty! That wiggles song does get stuck in your head!
I tagged you. Go check it out on my blog.
So cute. I'm sure you're thinking it was worth the soreness and the time...they're awesome!
I love these !!!THey Look so yummy!!!
SO cute Alex! And it sounds really, really good to boot!
My only question is what is acidic water?
Many Blessings,
M.
Alex - this totally rocks and is so yummy. Great job!
OK these are just so cute. I'm allergic to bananans so I'm thinking I could swap them out for pineapple. May have to try that and see if it would work or just leave them out. Everything else sounds yummy. :)
Oohh!! This fruit salad sounds so yummy - I need to try it out! I love anything fruity with granola!! One question - do you do all the stitching by hand? You mentioned your hand hurting! Ouch! I can't imagine paper piercing all of that!! This is a really fabulous swap - wish I was in it!! LOL!
Darling recipe cards. A great idea.

This really does sound yummy. I am always looking for new summer recipes, I think I'll make this one.The cards are great to and we missed the Wiggles era, too. Barney was a favorite in my house.
Take care,

These are so cute, Alex! The recipe sounds refreshing .... especially for those of us living with 110 degree heat! ughhh!
Unfortunately I'm right in the midst of the Wiggles! But I haven't heard this song yet (I'm sure I will soon!).
This is the perfect recipe card for a fruit salad! It's so summery and fun! Great job!
Congratulations to you daughter for her awards! You must be so proud, Mom! ;)
Great recipe pages. I cannot believe you did all that stitching on each page. No wonder you arm hurt. But it looks fabulous.
