  I use QCD sum rule ideas to construct models for generalized parton
distributions. To this end, the perturbative parts of QCD sum rules for the
pion and nucleon electromagnetic form factors are interpreted in terms of GPDs
and two models are discussed. One of them takes the double Borel transform at
adjusted value of the Borel parameter as a model for nonforward parton
densities, and another is based on the local duality relation. Possible ways of
improving these Ans{\"a}tze are briefly discussed.
