As a nurse i was smiling listening to your story, this has happened to me, know you need to be compassionate of others!

[@martharoberts2167]

Please mail this card! It is so beautiful and it needs to be genuinely loved by a special person in your life! Thank you for the amazing masking and coloring!

[@Thisisit120]

Kelly the card even looked good just with the stamping,the sky and grass. Very pretty either way.

[@dmurfval702]

Beautiful card. I never had allergies until I moved to Arizona. Now I'm on a permanent allergy drug. Love your stories. Thank you for sharing.

[@RainorShine1]

I wish I could color like you. Your coloring is wonderful.

[@carolhodges9899]

Really great card. I took allergy shots for years. Not a fan of needles, either, but if the nurse administering them knows what they’re doing, you hardly feel it at all. For real. Happily, I’m allergy free and have been for awhile now. Wishing you all the best, Kelly. ❤️

[@743linda]

You card is amazing!!! Worth every minute to make such a beautiful scene! Good luck with the allergy medicine!!!

[@samanthamann1523]

Aw! This is beautiful!! Love the multi shades of colors on the pumpkins, plus the lovely lovely flowers! And grasses ?!! You can’t get away from those! Ack!!!! Hope your new medicine works BRILLIANTLY

[@nicolenardi9521]

Beautiful card

[@rebeccanieves-pagan86]

Whoa! Ridiculously gorgeous! ♥️

[@jodieb4970]

Love the card. I never would have thought to put the flowers with the pumpkins, but I love it. I've done the scratch test twice. The first time was when I was 14. Turned out I was allergic to everything: grasses, trees, pollen, dogs, cats, molds, house dust, hay, and on and on. My doctor was the one who invented the series of allergy shot to desensitize you to allergies. I had 2 shots (one in each arm) twice a week. I got these shots for almost two years, when I had a horrible reaction. My reaction scared the doctor so much, he refused to let me continue the treatment. The second time I had the scratch test was about 10 years ago. The reached the same conclusion, I'm pretty much allergic to everything. The desensitizing worked on my allergies to dogs and cats, which were mild allergies anyway. So the allergist said going back on the shots would do me no good. So I am not afraid of needles, and I survive on Benadryl. For me, it's the nectar of the gods. Benadryl does not cause me to be drowsy (allergies do, big time). I can actually tell when the pill hits my bloodstream, because I fell so much more awake. I hope the medication works for you, whatever that medication may be. Allergies are a bummer!

[@tracykiske7758]

super pretty card. allergy testing blows, but the shots really do help.

[@konidogg]

Another AMAZING work of art!!

[@suzie5340]

Kelly, this is beautiful, I adore pumpkins and this is so cheerful and pretty, love it 😘🇬🇧

[@Just1lovetory]

This is by far my most Favorite video ever!!! Besides the gorgeous card and beautiful coloring, the way you told the story and called the scratch test “stabbing”, was hysterical. I have allergies also and am in need of going to an allergist so the story was not only helpful but funny! Thank you so much! Love all of your videos! Always beautiful cards and coloring!🤗💖😍🥰

[@071619571]

Another great card. Love the colors and the stories, lol!

[@loisr-c9663]

Gorgeous card...Thank you!

[@michelegourd5742]

WOW!!! Love your card!!

[@janets132003]

Love to watch you color, great card.

[@craftylemur]

Such a gorgeous scene and Beautiful coloring. Glad you have found some answers to your allergies and the medication will help you feel better.

[@scrapgirl6]

Omg love when you say it’s a stab test, tell all your friends! I hope you feel better soon. Also, the card is beautiful 😊

[@sandyt4597]

Love the card! The colors are gorgeous. I like that the pumpkins aren't all exactly the same. After all, they don't grow like that. I feel for you about the "stab" tests. My oldest son had that done when he was 6. It was terrible watching him go thru that, but he did fantastic. The itching actually bothered him the most. He had allergy induced asthma. We found out that he was allergic to basically anything that grows. Grasses, trees, molds, etc., cats, horses and some raw fruits & veggies. He took weekly allergy shots for 3 years and it helped tremendously. They didn't all go away, but they definitely improved and, at 37, he rarely has an asthma issue. I hope the meds work for you so you don't have to get the shots. Anyway, as always, I enjoyed story time and thanks for the great card. I'm learning a lot from you.

[@RijackiTorment]

I hope you get some relief from your allergies now that they know what the trigger is. Great pumpkins. I love masking to create a scene.

[@kathyesquerra2085]

I think you are the best colorist on KZbin, love your cards, can pretty much tell it’s your cards before I look at the name, beautiful work, thanks so much for sharing your talent with us, hope they get your allergies under control, snot running can be sooooo annoying.

Absolutely gorgeous card, beautifully designed and coloured. Hopefully the medication will work for you, xx😉

I showed this to my 3rd Grade class of 7 boys. They loved it! 🍁 Great card!!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Aww I love that! Thank you!!

[@denisehayes8779]

Kelly Latevola ❤️

[@lisadelong1455]

This is the most beautiful fall card I've ever seen. The colors and the brightness is breathtaking. I feel for you with the allergies. When I was younger I had allergies like you but also with my eyes. Now for the last 10 years it's basically just my eyes. They will itch so bad that I want to use a Brillo pad to scratch them. Just be lucky you don't live here in the Sacramento Valley (Calif.). It's known to be one of the worst places to live if you have allergies.

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Kelly, the card is absolutely wonderful. I completely understand what you are saying about the running nose, itching, watering eyes and itching, rashes on skin. It sucks, BIG TIME!!! I’m praying that the meds work so you DON’T have to start the shots. Hang in there!!! Take Care. ~Barbara

[@KellieMarie33]

Love the card. I did allergy shots for a number of years and it was the best thing ever. My allergies were to all green things outside and cats. I can be outside again and have my Zoe cat next to me. I hate needles as well.

[@glennistrotman8421]

Beautiful card, hope the treatment for your grass allergy works.

[@CarrieRhoades]

Thank you for the info on stabbing tests! Been wondering if I need to do that! Great card! Thank you for sharing your art, I look forward to every new video.

[@TheKlh54]

Hahaha! Loved your allergy story! I've been there. Love your coloring!

[@henriette9969]

Great card Kelly. Love all the colours and beautiful colouring. So glad they found something and that there is a form of medication for it. Hope this will help instead of getting shots for 5 years long. I know everything about freeking out of needles, my (meanwhile adult) daughter must have blood tested every six months. Thanks for your card and your story, you are such a great storyteller, full of humour.

[@karatekate89]

My youngest son had the shots for 5 years. He is allergic to grasses,trees, ragweed, pollens, kapok, all sumacs, and the list goes on and on. The shots worked wonders, but he needs them again because he is now allergic to a whole bunch more stuff. The shots were worth it. They really did help. Just hide your eyes and it’s over before you know it! P.S. I love the pumpkins❤️

[@DebadooCreates]

Oh and duh oh, I do love this card a lot!! I'm just starting with my Copic coloring, so it's really nice to see different color combinations with the pumpkins. And don't you just love all of these novel sized comments! lol. I know you are just super thrilled but I finally learned how to do comments. lol

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I enjoy the comment, no worries :)

[@DebadooCreates]

@@KellyTaylorCards now I just need to learn how to do hearts from my phone LOL

[@vicvaughan6483]

GIRL, you crack me up! Love this card, I could watch you for hours! I’m a little more courageous and am trying to color a hippo with my copics.🤞🏻

[@debbie1841]

I love this video!!! You are so talented and such a real person. I truly thank you for sharing - all of it. I want to Copic color like this someday. I’ve been battling my own strange allergy/cold/bug/cooties thing for a week that no one can figure out. It’s nice to be reminded others have things going on too. Human thing. Thank you!

[@terripennington9934]

Me too! Grass, trees, any biting bug, including mosquitoes and spiders. Life is lived indoors with a can of unscented RAID nearby, because, of course, I'm also allergic to scented products. I am truly domesticated.

[@ritaswanger1047]

This card is so beautiful. Love the color combos for the pumpkins. I’m on allergy meds 365 days. Grasses and dust are the worse. Hope your meds help.

[@patriciamiller1916]

Love it!!

[@AfrinArtandCraft]

Wow it's amazing

[@shellyray2416]

Great combination. I would have never thought of butterflies, flowers with pumpkins. That's why you are so awesome. Poor peanut. I would of hesitated as well for putting him under. Your allergies are ones that effect so much. I'm sure they suggested not to mow your yard and to never open your windows. That helps me with mine. As for mold I hope they got all that fixed in your craft room. I was afraid they would say dog dander. I did the shots but that was a hard commitment to do so I ended up not finishing them. I'm hoping your new meds will help and all the preventatives you can do will be for the better. It sucks not opening the windows but I pay for it if I do. Heck you might even have to wash the dogs after you mow too. The fresh cut grass on their fur is bringing it inside. Atleast at first till you know what you can and can't do. Good luck as you try and juggle this new journey.

[@cherij9008]

Love this card & your story! I am a member of The Collective Creators & was a fan once I saw the live video. BTW, I am PETRIFIED of needles!!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Oh my, thank you! I haven't watched the live. Too scared haha

[@rachaelb2888]

Those pumpkins are great! They have enough variety but still not crazy far apart in color. Though that would be fun too! I've had the allergy stabbing done as a kid, the whole back, and I have never forgotten that experience! Terrible!! Best of luck to you and the grasses 😄

[@SherriC88]

Love these pumpkins!!! And this card, allergies suck.....never suffered a day wit them until we bought our house....I never did go for testing, but we cleaned out the attic, and stripped the house recently, remodeling, and its really helped...except for after the rain...lol I'm all stuffed up after the rain, thànk goodness for Costco allergy pills!

[@kristinevencel2898]

OMG...I’m so sorry for the anxiety you must feel, but...... I was roaring listening to you! !!! Almost had tears running down my cheeks. I honestly empathize with you but I do not have a fear of needles. To me they are just pricks. I watch them draw my blood to make sure they do it right. 👍🏻 I am one of those perverse nurses who worked in both pads and an allergists office. Yep, you’re right....,.shots all day long. We also called them scratch tests. They literally are “pricks” and not stabs. Although, some nurses are rougher than others. The skin needs to be broken so the allergen can be absorbed and reacted to. I truly feel sorry that you are so sensitive to it. Makes me sad. 😥. But....and this may sound crazy....we used to test each other for the heck of it. Turns out I am allergic to soooo many things. No wonder I can’t breathe half the time. And grass??? Sure got me away from having to cut it. Lol. Now I live in the desert. And....we have dust. So much dust. Still can’t breathe. Lol Beautiful card, Kelly. PS....for your shots. Just close your eyes and picture a beach....and concentrate on breathing. Works well. 👍🏻

[@jewelzbtully4934]

As always...Gorgeous card girl! Happy to hear about your allergy test - minus the needles. Ragweed is insane in KY right now so I'm off to the allergist as well. YAY (NOT!!)

[@margaretmcgettigan4160]

Love the card as always. You are entertaining me while I clear out my craft room to make room for storage. Interesting about you developing an allergy during pregnancy. I never heard of it before but I developed an allergy to penicillin during my pregnancy. She is 28 this month and so far no complications from it. 😝

[@kellihull7600]

Absolutely LOVE THIS!!!!!! I have recently developed allergies too! 😩 WTHALE? Hopefully the meds work for you!!!!!! Shots suck

[@vlawton100]

What a beautiful card! you are amazing! I had to laugh during your story in another time when I was a young mother I worked for an allergy specialist and yes I did the testing Lol. I also administered intra dermal which is like the TB test. if it makes you feel better I also underwent the shots for about 5 years as well as gave them to other patients. I can now most of the time live my life allergy free. Good luck !

[@samanthajohnson2690]

I almost peed my pants watching this video!!! your commentary on allergy testing is hilarious. I have had it done and used to be very needle phobic also. It is not pleasant. I'm allergic to grasses, trees, ragweed, mold and dust mites, so pretty much life. I got over my needle phobia during the allergy shot phase, good thing too because my job is to set up injection for patient to get in their eyes.

[@countrymouse47]

Ooooooohhhhhh! This one is SO PRETTY! I love the colors and the final effect! I still struggle with blending my alcohol brush inks, and you just always make it look so effortless! Hmmm....could part of the difference be that I’m using a different brand than Copic? Maybe as I use them up, I’ll start working toward replacing them with the Copic markers. 🤔

[@pamlitzinger1555]

First of all the card is gorgeous and I love the fall colors your pumpkin coloring is awesome. You had me laughing out loud about the Police and the reason behind the nurse wanting to stab people lol 😂! I too went and got stabbed, because my body decided to become allergic to CITRUS 😲 and after all the stabbing they told me there isn’t a antidote for citrus sooo I’m out of luck soooo why did we test??? When my lips swelled up as big as the huge red wax lips for Halloween I think I knew I was allergic! Lol unbelievable .... I so enjoy your stories and cards ♥️

[@Rebeccacell]

3 vials is NOTHING! (Ok, I know it’s a lot for you) I once had 12!!! taken when I was in the process of being diagnosed with lupus. Fortunately they didn’t fill them full or I might have passed out! I love how you wondered about the psychology of being a nurse who stabs people all day. One of my best school friends is an allergist’s nurse and she is lovely! She took the job because she has health issues and it’s easier than a hospital job. Oh and BTW, most of us nurses spend a lot of time stabbing! Taking blood, starting IVs, giving medication by injection... The ones who work in the burn unit get the most of my respect. They literally torture people when doing dressing changes ALL DAY LONG. I hope this ends you trouble and winter brings you some relief. How’s Emma doing? Hope you get the cards my son and I sent soon. BecCreates1 on IG

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I have nothing but respect for nurses. Such a hard job. Emma is good and we can't wait for your card!

[@cardsbycolie]

I have severe allergies on a daily basis, so I feel your pain. I just had a CT scan done and need surgery to remove some of the mucus blockage and correct a deviated septum. But he prescribed me this nasal spray today and for the first time I can breathe without blowing my nose every 5 minutes. Try ipratropium bromide nasal solution. It's a prescription, so ask your dr. Ive tried it all too, and this stuff works! Hallelujah! Good luck Kelly!!

[@snett88]

Oooh Kelly I can totally relate to you concerning the allergy. I also have grass-allercy and it's HORRIBLE! Luckyly between Oktober and March they are basicly dead over here. So I only have to Deal with it 6 months a year. Totally hope your medication will work!

[@jessicasquirrel]

I love your card. Thanks for showing different color combos for the pumpkins! I have had allergies and asthma since I can remember. I had several allergy tests done while I was a little kid but haven't had one done as an adult but probably should. I get a sinus infection followed by bronchitis every fall. I can't take any otc medicine for allergies as none work for me and any that have the possibility of causing drowsiness does. I'm currently pregnant and I am having the most issues with allergies right now...I know pregnancy makes your body produce more mucus too.

[@marliesl.6229]

Kelly. You might want to cut out dairy to see if you allergies improve. My son's allergies are so much worth when he has dairy. Lovely card as ways.

[@ConnieBarnum]

Hi, I came to you from "Include a thank you...and then some!" She said you are one of her go-to channels for coloring. After watching you I can see why. I'm a new subbie and new to alcohol markers so I'll be checking in regularly, I hope, depending on my health.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Welcome aboard 😊

[@cindipatton1639]

Yes, stab test is definitely the correct phrasing! My allergist has a contraption that holds like 10 needles at a time so that the stabbing happens quicker, but it's 10 needles at a time! I went through shots twice. The first set of shots in my teens helped me for about 20 years. The second set helped a bit, but not nearly as much. :( My son had allergies as a youngster (over a 2-year period, he became allergic to basically the whole of outdoors and cockroaches) and was dreadfully afraid of needles. After 2 months of allergy shots, he was over his fear completely. Maybe you can kill 2 birds with one stone? Love the card and all of the Copic advice!

[@DebadooCreates]

So glad peanut did well at the dentist. I have a horrible phobia of dentists, and I do think it was because of being terrorized at the age of five first by the dentist, then by my stepmother, then by the dentist again. People think I'm crazy when I tell him I never had allergies until I was pregnant with my son. Maybe it's cuz we both call our boys peanut. Except it's not peanut allergies. lol the two biggest things when I got pregnant is I got allergies, and the pigment in my skin lightened up. It wasn't just a tan and fading, I had a few dark spots and the rest lightened up. Your allergy test reminded me of a breast biopsy. I won't go into tremendous details, but after them trying to drag me through the table by the aforementioned "appendage"? They said they were going to insert the needle. Oh no no no what they really meant was they lined up coordinates, fired it like a rocket launcher, and harpooned me with the needle!! I really hope they can find a medication to help you with your allergies. I did find out my biggest triggers will mold and Cedar. This explains why I was always sick the entire month of December. Cedar trees were way cheaper than Firs for Christmas and I was a broke Folk.

[@dianehunter3034]

You are so funny. I’ve had allergies fo most of my life. Used to be miserable when anyone mowed their lawn in my vicinity. One of my strange allergies is garlic.which is in almost all meals at restaurants. Needless to say I skip Italian restaurants. I took the shots for years and they helped.

[@lorikalmeyer3501]

Diane Hunter I’ve been tested in the past but not sure about garlic. Wish I had been as I love garlic and it hates me. Gives me migraines.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

eeep I love garlic!

[@kimsharabba5386]

Well, i PROBABLY shouldn't have watched this THIS week. I had a blood test for allergies that came out perfect. NO allergies. But i'm still getting huge itchy welts that they say are "probably" stress .. but they're sending me to the allergist to be sure. Next Wednesday is my appointment. Yay. Stab testing.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

My heartfelt condolences. It actually isn't terrible if you don't have a deep seeded fear of needles. Good luck!

[@theresehudran7635]

Don't forget to mail the card.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

True that!

[@cpharkins8]

The card is gorgeous! I always enjoy your coloring technique videos and story time! They are always entertaining because you're a great storyteller, but good grief you were hilarious here in the way you described "the stabbing test". I laughed way to hard at your descriptions! Definitely not making fun as I can sympathize with your plight. I'm very afraid of needles (I don't get panicky, I just tend to faint), therefore I always tell the nurses that I'm fine if I don't ever see the needle! I'm also allergic to grasses, dust, mold, some trees -- and cats. Fortunately, most are touch-sensitive allergies. My allergies initially began as a teen, when I developed the cat allergy, and it affected my relationship with my very clingy kitty. :( Did the tests and also discovered I am highly allergic to walnut trees -- of course, I grew up on land that used to be a walnut tree grove! Eventually, discovered that I'm also allergic to some foods -- peppermint and, no surprise, walnuts (with some additional sensitivity to pecans). Let me tell you, it's REALLY hard to avoid peppermint in dental products, gum, and mints. I can have spearmint, but many spearmint products also contain peppermint oil for that "refreshing" taste factor. I also have super-sensitive skin and need to avoid topical solutions and cleaners with scents and dyes. At least moving from Southern California to more arid northern New Mexico has definitely helped with my seasonal allergies. I hope you find medications that work for you, so that you can avoid the extended series of shots! ::shudders::

[@dotydiva]

Hud of thunk ..grasses.. I think you need to move to Arizona or some hot weather no grass area.. lol.. I hope it's all taken care of with meds. I feel for you. I'm allergic to cats and fur dogs, feathers, dust.. (hate dusting the house..lol) Take care and sorry for your "scratch test" but at least now you know.. Your card is beautiful. I love the colors and so glad you did the buttercups purple. Stunning against the oranges. Hope your son is doing great after his dental work. Hugs

SUPER cool card! Should’ve asked me about the allergy testing - I’m a registered nurse, remember? - could’ve told you it was a “stab” test! 😲😉

[@KellyTaylorCards]

hahaha then I wouldn't have went!

[@stylesformiles79]

I am allergic to grasses & most everything with 4 legs. Lol. I use Nasalchrom. It's now OTC. I get it at walmart & it stopps the receptors from reacting to the allergen in the first place. You don't have to build it up in your system either, which I like.

[@elisaearp3569]

Love how u tell your stories. This was one of my favs. It made me laugh & left me with a much needed smile on my face. Hugs X

[@brendamckerchie2959]

Oh man that allergy test sounds awful. Love the card!

[@Papergrace]

Your story time made me giggle. I guess you never knew that I was an Allergy/Immunology Technician when I was in the Air Force, huh Kelly? 😂 Needles are your friend. Lol!! And in other news? I love this card with my whole heart! ❤️ Gorgeous colors and you make all that masking look like it’s no biggie. (Which it totally is.) You’re amazing!! 💕

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Needles are not my friend Lisa 😂

[@Papergrace]

Kelly Latevola Hahhah!! 🤣 If *I* had done the allergy testing on you? You wouldn’t have felt a thing. That’s why they sent us to school specifically for it. I don’t believe that most RN’s get trained as thoroughly or give quite as many injections. I kicked butt at it. 😜

[@Eldi10]

I am so glad you have an answer to your allergy problem! Hopefully the meds will help. Isn’t it weird how you can pick up something like this in pregnancy....I was lucky, it worked the other way around.....used to be allergic to grasses but since my pregnancies.....no more! Also I like milk now.....🤔😄

[@kimgordoncrafts]

How would you do a white pumpkin? I absolutely LOVE your cards. Happy Halloween

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Same technique just with grays. :)

[@craftycx7197]

Love the colours. Such a happy card. My son had the 'scratch' test aged 10yrs. As I was a nurse I knew what it entailed which was horrible. Glad you're getting things sorted tfs x

[@kiminalaska9363]

Cute card, I really try to pay attention to how you color with your copics. I figure if I can copy your technique and get good then I will branch out and develop my own. I chuckled when you talked about the type of person who would want a job where they stabbed people all day long, and people pay her to stab them.

[@denisestine2141]

I love your card!! My daughter had to have allergy testing done when she was 14 for her asthma, they tested over 300 items, she was allergic to all but about 15 of them!! Hope you feel better!

[@Charliemmh921]

Great card I love the pumpkins. I know you speed up the video but can you please tell me how long the coloring took to complete the card. Thanks Hopefully the new medicine will help.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

About an hour and a half.

[@Charliemmh921]

Thanks Kelly🎃

[@helenweber8029]

Love this card!! Fall is my favorite season, one of the reasons I go back to Michigan every October!! There are no pretty color changing leaves here in Las Vegas!! My ex years ago had the stab test and pretty much like you, he was allergic to everything that was green and grows!

[@marierhodes4735]

Helen Weber yea Vegas doesn’t have any season changes. I can’t wait to move!

[@ashleybuffa7971]

I had four years of the shots and it cured 90% of my allergies. I was allergic to EVERYTHING under the sun according to my allergist 😂 Get the shots! It’s so worth it!

[@barbborja1910]

I’m glad to hear that you finally found out what was causing your horrible allergies, but sorry about all the stabbing. Reminds me of the nerve conduction studies I had to have. Unfortunately, no one explained the procedure to me beforehand. Lots of long needles and then being electrocuted. I feel for you!

[@stefperry4142]

One of my favorite cards of yours, the vibrant colors are gorgeous and I love the butterfly! I hope you get the allergy thing all figured out, it's a miserable condition to deal with.

[@shelleyscales200]

How many times can Kelly say any-who? ha ha. Nice card Kelly, but, the butterfly is almost the size of the pumpkin. I hate shots too, and the dentist is my worst nightmare.....mostly the drill, but the shot too.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

A pumpkin sized butterfly sounds amazing haha

[@lorikalmeyer3501]

Beautiful card and love your coloring plus the way you explain what you are doing. Have a question. When you put the masks in place and then you placed a couple of stamps over them in your Misti, why couldn’t you have laid all the stamps and pick them up on the Misti door? Wouldn’t you then be able to ink up the ones you want to stamp first and then put the masks back on and go to the next ones? Just trying to figure out if this would be easier. I’ve got the grass allergies and several others too. From the comments I’ve read here we have a lot of company with these same allergies.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I can't do all the stamps at one time because the overlap. The little stamps would block the big stamps from touching the paper.

[@junebovenzi]

I have had allergies my whole life. I had allergy tests as a kid and two allergy shots a week for six years. I definitely understand how you feel. Pincushion sort of describes it. I truly hope you are able to get your allergies under control.

[@lisaprobyn5874]

This video is my favourite , I’m sorry, I was hysterically laughing at your story 🤣 you are a riot , the , nobody called the police part slayed me . This card Kelly is absolutely gorgeous !! Hope you feel better soon beautiful thanks for the laugh on a dreary Tuesday morning ❤️

[@ScoutValentine]

Ditto - I laughed out loud at the police comment - LOVE your stories!! :)

[@InkBlotShop]

Okay, I am sorry about your stab tests...but the blood draw of 3 vials? That's a Kentucky-style "bless your heart" moment. 😂 Anytime I get blood drawn, it is a minimum of 8-ish vials. I hate needles, too. I sit down and immediately look the other direction until I get out of the chair. Anyway, you know I just have to tease you, but I hope everything is okay. Love you, my friend! 💜 Can't wait to see you.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

8?! How are you not dead when they're done?! Vampires.

[@InkBlotShop]

@@KellyTaylorCards - Haha - seriously! I think my most so far was 14. 😳 Too bad they don't draw fat instead of blood. 🤣

[@NorseButterfly]

Beautiful card! So far, I've only had bloodwork done for allergy testing. I don't know what the difference is🤷‍♀️... my ENT, who is also an allergist, is the one who ordered the labs. Funny thing, I'm allergic to dogs on paper not cats, but irl, I'm not allergic to the majority of dogs but all cats. I don't get it.

[@mommaholstein]

Gorgeous colors and a beautiful card! But the “stab test” is hysterical! As always, you make me laugh! I will be sure to pass that on to my friend who is having allergy testing done as well. Have a wonderful day! I hope all goes well with the medication so you don’t have to suffer so much!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Kelly, first off, I’m relieved you’re fine!!! You should have mentioned you were going to get tested for allergies, I would have warned you, yes, I too know the fun that allergy testing is!!! Basically, the outdoors is my nemesis...So glad you were able to have something work for you!!! The card is fabulous, I love all the elements you used, the florals, the butterflies all among the pumpkin patch & leaves!!! It’s such a happy card!!! Thanks for sharing & inspiring, so grateful for you!!!! BLESSINGS & HUGS!!!

[@melodieisreal5933]

I get so inspired by your 1 layer cards and copic coloring....it makes me try...more...I usually throw them away but I believe that eventually I will be good enough that I will throw fewer away....thank you for inspiring me to keep trying!!!! I feel bad for you.... for those tests I will hope and pray that you do not have to do the shots!
