A Bit of TLC for Spring Allergies - Magnolia-licious 'Hello Spring' Blog Hop

Hello.

We're having our first blog hop of the year--it's our 'Hello Spring' Blog Hop--at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.  The DT gals have been busy working on projects with a Spring or Easter theme.  If you're already taking part in this blog hop and have come here from Chrissy's blog then you're in the right track.  If not, then you may want to start at the beginning--or in case you get lost along the way--here's a list of the participants:

Spring brings spring allergies to some people.  So for my project, which I've named 'A bit of Tender Loving Care (TLC) for Your Spring Allergies', I've made a couple of things to help take care of all those sniffling and sneezing...tee hee.

This first item is a tea-bag gift box-card.  It opens up to reveal a small box inside filled with peppermint tea bags--hopefully that will help clear up the stuffy noses.

For the second item, I've made this tissue box for the sneezing and the runny nose.  I've put an adorable Tilda on each of the opposing sides.  This is the view of the other side.

The other two opposing sides are similarly decorated with this floral arrangement.

My tissue box is made up of an open box over a slightly smaller open box.  The top box is easily removable so that you can refill it when it goes empty.

These are close-ups of the Magnolia images being featured:

- Rose Scent Tilda from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection 2012

- Sneezing Tilda from the With Love Collection 2013
- Summer Wedding Tilda from the Special Moments Collection 2013
