Love me some butterflies 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 Thank you for including us in your pregnancy journey! 👶

Beautiful card. Don't worry about the baby. I know it's stressful, but focus on the positive. I had premature labor with my 2nd son at 24 weeks, delivered at 33 weeks... he was 5 lbs, but 19 inches long at birth. He was lifeflighted to University of Chicago NICU stayed 11 days. Almost 17 years later he is a happy healthy teenager, no health issues at all and while he started tiny, he is now 6'4 ....

Hi, Kelly! This is my first time commenting here, but I do watch your videos. Your coloring is super beautiful and I love this card you made today. I had six children many years ago and I never gained more than 22 lbs. with any of them. One of them I only gained 11 lbs.! I realize that both my husband and I were smaller people, however. And, when I was pregnant they didn't offer all of the testing that they do now, so it was always a surprise when the babies were born as to their gender and/or any major problems. I am so happy for you and Eric and I just know that your baby will be a healthy boy or girl. And, your son will be an awesome big brother, too! May the Lord bless your dear family!

[@anniegotakindlee]

So happy caught this video. I love your coloring. And listening to your stories and catching up with your life. So happy for all of you and all of your family.

[@nicolewooldridge9683]

Aww a new baby, that’s lovely and am so excited for you.

[@henriette9969]

Fabulous card Kelly, I love the colours. Great to hear that you and the baby are doing well, hope it will stay that way. Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful day.

[@MaryMoisan]

I love your floral cards! I think coloring critters is so much easier, flowers stress me out a little. Sending good vibes for your little bun-in-the-oven. Looking forward to seeing you live on Craft Roulette in a couple of weeks 😀

[@danielleporter1829]

Glad that baby Taylor is doing well overall. Pretty card, love 🦋 s. I was a small baby, 6lbs 30z , my mom was 5"'5 and dad was 5'6-5"7' , and I'm 5'4" . My maternal grandmother didn't gain more than 30 lbs with all three of her pregnancies, including my aunt who she had @ 39. My mom wanted to actually gain more weight with me( I was the only child my parents had and my mom's only child, I had three siblings from my dad's first marriage, lost my sister unexpectedly last ( not virus related) . My niece's daughter was a micropremmie ( sister's granddaughter, you wouldn't know it by looking at her , she'll be 12 in a couple of weeks) , weighing only slightly over 2lbs when she was born. My sister at the time said she could hold her in the palm of her hand. Your goddaughter's story reminds me of my little niece's birth story.

Love your beautiful card❤. Happy that you and your baby is doing great❤

[@lltpgh2012]

Agree, like this color combo. Thanks for the update on you and the baby. take care and be safe.

[@nancyleppek9884]

Enjoyed this immensely! Best of luck to you during the rest of your pregnancy! Gorgeous card!

[@maryhughes6390]

Beautiful! Congratulations on your upcoming arrival!❤️❤️❤️

[@sheilagraber5577]

Your coloring is always so beautiful ❤️ So excited for you and your baby. I gained 60lbs with both of my babies. I am a small person and the weight came off right away. Hopefully you don’t stress to much and all will be well

[@karenacevedo9853]

Beautiful! Great that you and baby are doing well…stop worrying…remember, God will never give you more than you can handle…all the testing in the world will make no difference…you will still love your baby…I speak from experience…❤️

[@lizbalaam1937]

Such a beautiful card. Best wishes for you and your little baby.

[@debbiepiccolo7846]

Beautiful card. Your little one will be perfect.

[@gaylesanders936]

Kelly, you make coloring with Copics look so easy. This card as all of yours, is just stunning! I’m so glad you and baby are doing well. Thank you again for sharing your stories along with your coloring. You’re the best!😊

[@kiminalaska9363]

I laugh each time I see you crafting in your robe. I love watching you copic coloring. You make your markers sing. Makes me think about giving them a try again. Very beautiful card. I'm glad your pregnancy is going well.

[@dotydiva]

Beautiful colors and stamps. Love your card and the details you give. Awesome. .

[@bronwynmalone8531]

Such a beautiful card Kelly. Love the colours so much! I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my daughter and I was put on a strict diet and had to exercise after each meal to control my blood sugar levels. I ended up weighing less at full term than I did before I even fell pregnant! I was all baby and she was born a healthy, average weight. The doctors and dietician keep sending me for growth scans on the baby because they were worried that the baby wasn’t putting on enough weight 🤦‍♀️ Turns out I didn’t have full blown gestational diabetes, I was right on the cusp so the hospital erred on the side of caution 😆 I wish you all the best for the remainder of your pregnancy and the birth. Such an exciting time for you all!

[@ryantaylor7283]

Beautiful Card Kelly. I love the colors.

[@TheresaPetermann]

very pretty card, still love to watch you color. glad things are going well. thanks as always for sharing.

[@colligancrafts660]

My daughter had a 2 vessel cord as well. She is totally fine! Not a problem. I found out after birthing her. Hope you feel better soon!! I was an unhappy pregnant person... Glad that part of my life is in the past! Now I am waiting for the 'change' so I don't get cramps every month! LOL Beautiful card!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@wendy8184]

Beautiful card, so cheerful 😀

[@lauriewray8146]

Stunning coloring Kelly

[@jodygalluzzi3796]

Love the way you color. It's amazing

[@metadarmawan1767]

Beautiful card, I love the colors..

[@jessicasquirrel]

Beautiful coloring as always. I'll be praying for you and your baby. I too am a worrier...I try not to but it's hard. We skipped the genetic testing as well. I knew it would only stress me out if they said my baby was at risk for something. My SIL is pregnant and due this month and during her 1st or 2nd trimester they said her baby had heart issues. They had seen the same thing multiple times for at least 2 months. She's been going to get ultrasounds and other tests done frequently and now they have seen zero evidence of a heart defect! God is good!

[@teresatrump8366]

Beautiful card; love your coloring.

[@angelaadams9806]

You amaze me. Another beauty.

[@dingfriesaredone]

It was nice seeing you in the live earlier today. I’ll pray for the baby. I’m sure all will be fine. The card came out beautiful.

[@michelegourd5742]

Beautiful card as always!! Try not to worry about the baby, God is in control!! You are in my prayers!!

[@geminigirl68]

Prayers for a healthy baby!!💞 Always love your beautiful coloring. Love this stamp!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Stunning coloring and stamps! Glad to hear all about baby! 💕

[@debbieklapmeier2505]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@DebadooCreates]

Another gorgeous card! Amazing the difference the white dots in the center of the blue flowers made. My head knows how great some white Gel pen details can be. Do I ever think to do it? Rarely. I need to put up a big sign that says use white Gel pen!! LOL. So glad that everything is going so well & you're nearing the finish line. Hope it's cooling off some in Ohio. My son was born Nov 28th, & I'm a Texan, so yeah late stage pregnancy in August & Sept, our two hottest months in Texas, not so much fun. But, aside from heartburn, I never felt better in my life than when I was pregnant! My metabolism went sky high. Don't hate me, but I had a net gain of 17 lbs, & I craved milky ways. Which is odd since my go to candy bar is snickers. Yanno, milky way with nuts lol. I say net gain since from one month to the next, I lost a pound. They were freaking out thinking I wasn't eating. It was one of the few times in my life I was glad my mother was visiting, she was able to assure them I was eating very healthy meals. I would buy a 6 pk of milky ways every week, & whenever anyone sent to the store they knew to bring me not one, but two! lol. It's just that my metabolism was so high. I paid for it during a 40 hour labor though. Late 30's the family fat genes caught up with me though. A few times you said they referring to the baby. I can't recall if you specifically said there was only 1 before, but I'm assuming it was too avoid it, while still not knowing the sex, & I'm sure others have mentioned it. I'm off to watch the next video where it's possible you'll address that. Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly, & you have a quick fairly easy delivery. Really wish y'all would get a PO Box, but know I'm designing a fabulous card for yall in my head & man my Copic coloring has never looked so fantastic!! Lol

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Just one baby lol. and milky ways are already one of my favorites :)

[@Wendyrocler]

Such a beautiful card! I was so ready to watch you colour and hear what is going on in your life. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes your way hoping baby Taylor keeps on track and allays your worries at least a little. Being a parent is so hard, even before they are born…

[@sherrywoods4630]

I am so glad you went back to the color combo - it’s gorgeous. Doing the small flowers in white was a super choice. Such a pretty card. Glad you and baby are doing well.

[@debiv7834]

Absolutely love this card! Gorgeous! I will add you and your family to my prayer list! ❤️😘🙏🏻

[@dawncooksley4444]

Beautiful card...prayers for you and the baby...

[@ashleymanardo]

My oldest daughter had a two vessel cord, no other complications. Had stress tests and ultrasounds weekly in the third trimester to make sure she was growing properly. All was fine, she’s a healthy 6yr old❤️ Try not to worry mama.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you for sharing!

[@JJArtoArt]

Wow..so beautiful..

[@mariapetkash6216]

This card is Gorgeous!!! So glad to hear things are going well with your pregnancy.

[@scubajenn5]

I have been away from card making for a bit so I just found out about your WONDERFUL news!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I've missed story time & of course your AMAZING coloring ❤

[@743linda]

Beautiful card! Good luck with your little one❤️

[@lindaball403]

Beautiful! Hugs

[@susanbyers7523]

Love the colors. Stunning card

[@reneeayling8238]

This card is stunning. Having babies can be super stressful. My 3rd child quad screening came back with possible issues. I was keeping her no matter what and she was born normal. It was so stressful wondering. So with baby 4 we did not do that screening.

[@shirleysickinger200]

I had the two blood vessel cord with my 3rd baby.(almost 35 years ago) gulp ... then we had a car accident (involving my ob) and had to change doctors. My new doctor didn't realized this until her birth. She was fine and still is. Good luck!

[@lesleyeden3580]

Awesome as usual Kelly. Thanks for taking the time for us. I look forward to your videos so much and learn so much from you.

[@lyndaprobst4413]

Beautiful card!

[@alisonpendlebury-brown7885]

This is absolutely stunning Kelly.

[@Tessiefaye]

I just love this set. You did a beautiful job.

[@mellanykitchens7399]

Kelly, I love watching your videos and especially your coloring skills! I am contemplating getting a die cut machine and wonder if you would have any suggestions on what to get. Thanks so much!

[@mandyobrien8452]

Beautiful. ♥

[@andrealavigne7824]

Your comparison between your 2 pregnancies makes me think of my mom. When she was pregnant with me (I'm her firstborn), I wasn't very active. Every once in a while, she would feel a little flutter. Otherwise, she had no clue what was going on with me. With my younger brother, she could lie in bed and watch her stomach bounce out as he kicked! He was pretty much my complete opposite in activity level in utero. I am sure Baby Taylor will be fine. It's funny, as I have never been pregnant, and Mama's last pregnancy was over 40 years ago, how much I'm learning about "modern-day" pregnancy stuff from you. LOL Anyway, I love how your card came out. I have that set, and haven't done anything with it yet. I've been in kind of a crafting slump. :( Just general discombobulation. I've still been working on stuff, but generally shying away from coloring or anything that takes a lot of effort. While I love the Flora & Fauna 3 images, they kind of intimidate me. Hopefully I can get over that, & soon! Thank you for sharing, Kelly - both your life stories & your artwork. Take care, & have a wonderful day! :)

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I hope you jump in and play with them. They are beautiful images and you can color them anyway you're comfortable with!

[@marzs1214]

Simply beautiful card! 🌸🌸🌸. What marker or pen did you outline the butterflies in?

[@KellyTaylorCards]

The one I used in the video is an EK Success journaling pen but they discontinued them unfortunately. The other ones I like are Microns and you can find them pretty much everywhere.

[@peggyfullbright5709]

You’re wearing my favorite “shirt”! I absolutely LOVE this card. You do an amazing job coloring. You’re nearing the end … we had the genetic testing done with both of the boys, as I was 39 and 40 when we had them (they’re 13 months apart) + we wanted to be mentally prepared (not that we would have done anything if either had Downs, etc). Do you have a PO Box?

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I don't have a P.O. Box. Keep meaning to get one and just never got around to it.

[@rollonmom]

If you could pray for my niece, who lives in Ohio, Erin and her husband just lost their baby. Erin was 7 months. I love your copic coloring on all of your cards.

[@KellyTaylorCards]

I'm so sorry. Praying for them.

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@carolalanis795]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@WendyCranford]

Gorgeous card. And we didn’t do the genetic testing either. Felt exactly like you. Wouldn’t change anything so what’s the point.

[@tamaramaus6726]

I cannot figure out why I am not getting good impressions with my clear rubber stamps. I have a Tim Holtz stamping platform. I have 3 different black ink pads. They are all very “wet”, full of ink. They transfer just fine onto the stamps but not much gets on the paper. I stamp over and over so many times. I’m using X-press it or Neenah paper. Do you have any idea what might be the problem? Or where I can research to figure it out? I’ve even bought the erasers for new stamps and tried that. I’ve tried keeping the stamp pressed to the paper longer. Nothing is working and I’m vert frustrated. I appreciate any help you are able to give. P.S. I so enjoy watching your u-tubes!

[@KellyTaylorCards]

What brand are the stamps? Acrylic are notorious for a terrible impression. Photopolymer works best. Also, which black inks are you using?

[@tamaramaus6726]

@@KellyTaylorCards I didn’t realize with the clear stamps there were 2 kinds. Is there anyway to tell the difference between Acrylic and Photopolymer? My stamps are not in the original package, so the majority of them I’m not sure where I bought them. I could check my favorite places that I buy from, look at my orders and see what they say. The 3 inks I have are: Staz-on jet black, My Favorite Things Black Licorice and Gina K Amalgam ink. I know the Gina K works with my Copic markers.

[@carolynpicken6949]

My grandson had the same thing with the umbilical cord…he is a healthy 8 year old. Very scary at the time

[@KellyTaylorCards]

Thank you for sharing!

I gained 25 with my son & 35 with my daughter they wanted me to gain 45 because I was considered "underweight" I was sick to turned out my prenatal vitamins were causing it didn't take them with my daughter wasn't sick my iron was high so couldn't take them
