The idea of the story book was shared with us by Lisa Patencio as part of the Soul Food lessons and is something that I think that I will definitely be doing again.
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 house
Owl says that they have to go by boat and follow the directions that are on the invitation he is clutching in his hands. They take Orvilles boat the 'Sea Farer' and head off!
When they arrive on the island Orville is a bit lost, so Pete takes a look and manages to work out how to get to Bobby Beaver's house.
X marked the spot to Bobby the Beaver's house, they were glad that they arrived safely and were able to meet up with the rest of his friends and party till the sun went down!
As 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!
