Spring in Utah is unpredictable. One day it’s sunny and warm and the next day it’s snowing and cold. This makes picking out clothes each morning quite a challenge (I keep my go-to sweaters on standby until Memorial Day!).
Regardless of the temperature outside, the calendar says May and I’m ready to add a little spring to my step. I’ve determined a little sunny inspiration is just what I need so join me in a springtime tiptoe through the tulips!
Don’t you just love these beautiful photos by Tricia McKellar?
Her Etsy shop is one of my new must-see spots for inspiration. I thought these four images were particularly lovely. So lovely in fact that I did a little blog hopping to find cards and product from the wide world of paper crafting that looked reminiscent of these beautiful images.
This card from Go-to Gal Betsy Veldman combines the fluffiness of the peony in the photo with soft pink for a feminine card that’s full of style!
I love the way the birds in the picture and on this card by Lucy Abrams (from Stamp It! Cards) look so happy and peaceful.
These rub-ons from Hambly Screen Prints remind me of Tricia’s Seedpod picture. Now I can have my own trendy dandelion-styled creation thanks to inspiration from Tricia and product from Hambly!
I really like the texture and roundness of the shells in this last image. Similarly, I love the chic touchability of these carved shell charms from Making Memories – fab!
Are you feeling springy yet? I know I sure am. Thanks for joining me on my inspiration walk. If you know of other inspirational web sites of photos, please send them my way. I’d love to take a peek!

Aw! I love spring! The hot and humid days of summer? Not so much! Great inspiration! Beautiful photos! I’m feeling especially springy today, because my first daylily of the season bloomed today! Gorgeous!
Loving all your fabulous inspiration!
Love her flowers and pink pearls!
I have to say I’m feeling a bit more summer than spring. Living in Arizona and having the temperatures near 100 degrees isn’t exactly spring anymore. But I do love spring and the freshness of everything. Love the pictures!! A blog I go to for inspirational photos is A Creative Mint. She has beautiful pictures. Have a great rest of your Thursday!

oh my goodness! that card Betsy made is incredibly gorgeous!
LOVE that peony! Great images and I think it’ll be warm today here in Ohio…eventually. It’s not exactly toasty yet!
WOWOW, great images for Spring and Summer! Thanks for sharing!
I love both of those cards-does that mean I have eclectic taste?
my peonys are just about ready to bloom. my neighbor has some in their yard that was planted almost 50 years ago. the flowers are georgous. i will try for some pictures this year.
Oh, I’m so ready for spring and all the color it brings!
Thanks for these beautiful photos for inspiration!!
Enjoy your wknd!
blessings!
