I started mine off with some recycled card and added stamps, and paint to it. I then decided to add random splodges, and this is where the magic happens. Out of the splodge you create your characters and you end up with a mini story.
Our theme was the owl and the pussy cat and this is the story line I came up with.,,,
Pete the Pussycat started life as a splodge!
Pete the Pussycat decides to pay Orville the Owl a visit, It a Friday night and he remembers that Orville the Owl had a party to go to at Bobby Beaver's houseAs you can see with a bit of paint here and there you can create some really lovely stories. While it came out of playing with some scrap paper and card you could go on to develop a great story out of the characters that you create.Why don't you give it a try, take a look in your supplies and experiment. Do let me know how you get on and leave a comment and let me know what you think. Blessings!
