Before you make assumptions... let me explain. Brad goes to K-State, hence the "K-State Brad" holding a pencil. He worked for Budweiser delivering beer last summer and is going to do it the second half of this summer, hence the "Bud Brad" carrying a case of beer. Like I said, Brad is working at Kanakuk kamps (yeah, they're cool and spell everything with a K) so I made a "Kamp Brad." I contemplated having him hold a cross, or having his hands up in worship, or even holding a football (because that's the sport that he's concentrating on at kamp) but thought that those ideas were all boring. Then I remembered hearing that he was certified in BB guns during his week of kamp training so I thought, "Let's be funny and have him hold a BB gun." Well... it turned out looking like he's planning on shooting up kamp. (If you happen to be a CIA guy looking for tips on possible bad guys, I promise this guy isn't one of them. I'm just horrible at making funny cards.)
Yep, it's pretty much a train wreck of a card. I obviously wasn't going for a polished look when making it. Apparently I wasn't going for a "non-offensive" look either. Oh well... he'll get the point that I miss him. Hopefully he'll laugh, and hopefully no one will get the wrong impression...

I don't think I've ever posted on your blog before, but I hope you don't mind it. I randomly found your blog, and have enjoyed your posts.
The card-- I think it's great! I write letters and thank you notes all the time and hardly ever get anything, except maybe an email! I miss the days of letter writing and thank yous! This card is just adorable!
Colleen, I love that you posted something. Post away... It's nice to get some feedback. Thanks! :)
Brad is going to love hearing from his funny girl cousin. I think it will be special. It makes my "aunt" letter pretty boring. Going to have to work on it.
i laughed out loud and def thought it was a gun before i read the blog....also looks like possible hairdryer??
Your card is PERFECT!!! Love you!
