Today we welcome Taylor VanBruggen, Owner & Creative Director, Taylored Expressions. We are so excited to have her showcase her work today on Paper Crafter’s Library. You can see Taylor’s fabulous project below, but first, here is a little more about her:

Mother to Madelyn and Charlotte, Taylor works alongside her husband, Jon, in the newly expanded Taylored Expressions offices near Des Moines.

Taylor’s card features stamps, dies, and paper from Taylored Expressions. She used TE’s fan favorite set, Sunshiny Day, TE’s Lattice Cutting Plate and TE’s 3×4 Pockets & Pages Photo Frame die to create this simple, clean, and happy card.
