Cute handmade Surprise box for babies and infants (using recycled materials!)

My best friend's daughter, Ella Bleu, was going to turn 1 years old and I wanted to make her something special.

When she was at my house she loved my daughter's "What's in the Box" box I bought her on OneStepAhead (http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=535356), so I thought I could make her this and it would be more of a personal gift and a sort of challenge for me.

I got to use some recycled materials too like packaging cardboard, ribbons, an old French book, and some crinkly plastic bag from our bread (to make it crinkle when you push the cat and butterfly).

She loved it, but let me know what you think.

p.s. The little stuffed toys were bought at Toys R Us for just a few dollars, but Ikea has tons of little stuffed animals for cheap and they are cute too.
