Here Comes Nobu!

Hooray! Our first boy image is finally here! Yes, we have our first boy all because of you! On one of our first posts, we asked you what you wanted to see from us and the response was overwhelming! So my sister got to work and produced more y chromosomes just for you. Nobu is the first of our boys and was not originally planned for our 2nd release, but we couldn't wait to introduce him to you, so I slipped him in.

Nobu is named after my only nephew- or "Baby Z" as his Mommy calls him. Its funny, cause whenever I picture someone named Nobu, I picture an old Japanese man, not a toddler. Baby Z was actually named after Grandpa K., so I guess it is a name from an older generation. This image is so fun and carefree, kinda like Baby Z. I like how my sister put that toy in his hand. Did you ever have that drum toy? It looks like the one from Karate Kid 2 (ok if you don't know what I'm referring to, please go netflix that movie and then come back and finish reading this post).
Here's a close up of Nobu. I've been studying the hair on Mei Lin from the card that Mama gave to me. I'm slowly figuring it out, but not quite there yet. This is the first time I'm coloring up Nobu and it was so much fun! Its nice that his hair is short and not so time consuming as some long hair can be. He is making me hungry for some Tomoe Ame candy or Tomoe Arare!



Don't forget to leave a comment on THIS POST for a chance to win Nobu. In addition to the regular rules listed on the Ayako post, tell us what other types of boy images you would want to see.

Supplies:
  • Nobu stamp- Sister Stamps
  • Washi paper- from Japan
  • Circle die- Spellbinders
  • Cardstock- Bazzil
  • Dew Drops

    Hurray, a little boy! Can't wait to add him to my collection! He's so cute with his little taiko toy...hey Denise, how about doing a Taiko drummer to celebrate Jenny's dh?

    Yes! Love this little guy! I agree with Eunice, that would be awesome to have a taiko drummer boy in honor of your hubs ... hmm, maybe a Christmas release? The Little "Taiko" Drummer Boy? :-)

    Yeah, a boy! I can't wait to have that stamp and look forward to more boy stamps! I have 2 little boys - middle names are Ichiro & Ryoji. How about a boy with a koi fish kite?

    I never had that drum toy but remember it from that movie!

    I can't wait for this one!! I may have to wait on finishing my Bon Dance page until I get him.
    Not really sure what other boys I want to see. But I'm sure any that the two of you come up with will be amazing!
    (And I do remember that toy. I had one and played with it constantly until my mom took it away because I was making too much noise. LoL)

    Hi Jenny,
    Yay for Nobu! Ur card is so kawaii! Gorgeous job coloring his hair. This layout is so fun and his smile is definitely contagious.
    I know whatever new boy image you and your sis come up with will be awesome. I've never seen a samurai, I think he would look cute in ur style of images.

    Good job on the hair. I still have a Peace card Mama made for Island Scrapbooking in fact it is still on display if anyone wants to see it. I was amazed when I first saw her talent in coloring and I am still in awe of her coloring skill. Nice job Jenny on your coloring of Nobu. I always thought your coloring was off the charts too. Thanks for sharing your creations with me and the Hilo Community.
    Getting really excited for your upcoming release. Can't wait to welcome: Nobu, Ayako, Miyono, and Yoko:)

    Yay for a little boy! He's so cute and your coloring is great--especially his hair! I'd like to see a little "karate kid" or sumo baby boy.

    Nobu is very cute. I love the simplicity of the image. It makes it easier to color. I would like to see a boy holding a carp (fish) to celebrate Boy's Day.
