My Sweet Little Babushkas!

Hi all!!!
So, how much fun is this?! Babushkas for Easter from CS Designs! Here's a little fun fact: my mother-in-law is from Poland, so these designs are near and dear to my heart.  When I was playing with these, I knew the projects I made would be going straight to her!

Since we are hopping around, helping the Easter Bunny, I knew I had to make a basket! This will be my baby's second Easter and I'm hoping this year she will understand it a little better than last year (she didn't really get it then)! So, I made my own basket out of K and Company paper and embellished it with some Stickles, rhinestones, ribbon, and of course BABUSHKAS!

I think I'm going to make little mini baskets for my son, daughter, and maybe a few other lucky family members for Easter this year.  It was easy and fun to do! Just make 9 equal squares on a sheet of paper.  I used 2 sided paper so both sides looked good.  Score all the squares, and cut up to the center square on the top and bottom.  Fold, and hold together with a brad! Easy peasy!  Here is a close up:

After working with these fantastic images, I knew I wasn't done yet! What would a basket be without a matching gift tag??!!!

I used the same papers and elements as the basket, but I added a die cut flower I made and I added a little beauty mark on her face, a la Marilyn Monroe. I just couldn't resist! I have to say it was quite a challenge to take these pictures - my daughter kept stealing the plastic eggs that were supposed to be my props in the pictures! My silly little girl!!!

Thanks for stopping by today for the Hunt! Don't forget to go to play along with our contest - there are some awesome prizes involved!!!

My two questions for you to answer are:
1. Where is my mother-in-law from (country)?
2. Is this my daughter's FIRST or SECOND Easter?
