I got a package in the mail yesterday {an empty scrapbook} and boy...am I in trouble!! You see, when my friend Micki was pregnant with her first baby, a lil boy named Emerson, I made this really pretty little scrapbook, for his first full year. Guess what! Guess who flew in at Valentine's Day this year and told us at dinner...baby #2 is on its way!! Yeah, I can't wait... Oh, well hold on, maybe we have to wait...I gotta start scrapping againg so baby #2 doesn't feel like she isn't a special as baby #1 was. lol Yeah, we'll call her baby #2 cause mommy & daddy had not agreed on a name, last I heard... What does all this have to do with what I'm gonna show you? Does it tie in to my card?? Yes, it does!!
You see, all of us in my house are Gilmore Girls fans. Love it, LOVE it!! I have all the seasons on DVD and I am just finishing up watching the full series...again. {that's what I have on when I am in my room} So, Jordan kept asking if they had a name yet and Jim decided to name her ourselves... I'm cool with that, her name is gonna be Rory...{I guess I should let Micki know} Soooo, I will tell you now, you will soon be seeing some of my scrapping handiwork. and here's Rory...
A "rory" from Sugar Nellie that is. My friend & A+ coloring pupil sent him to me in a care package from South Africa. I see stuff on Meahni's blog and leave her a comment...stamp that out for me please! Honestly, I am keeping Rory naked until I decide just what I want to write on him. Isn't he cute!
I used my prismacolor pencils and gamsol, nesties and clear glaze pen. The dp is from My Mind Eye...and it's a 5x5 inch card...I almost forgot to add that, ooops.
Well friends, I need to bring this blog to an end. I don't wanna overstay my welcome and take up all your time. Thanks for dropping in today!! Love, paula :)
Rory is just precious! You coloured him BEAUTIFULLY, but what else. Love the way you did the ribbon!!

I am a huge fan of Gilmore Girls myself and have all of the DVDs at home, too. I was just thinking last week that I might like to watch the whole series again this summer (while there's barely anything good on TV).
Love your Rory - he's a cutie!

He is too cute!! :) I have a question for you regarding nestabilities. The ones that you show hanging in your room look different from the ones that I found on the Spellbinders site. Are there two different kinds? (Sorry for the probably dumb question, but I am so new to "real" paper crafting... I'm more of a digital girl!)
