My New Adventure.....

Hi! I am Betsy Bowen and I am a wife to a wonderful, supportive husband and full-time mom to two beautiful girls who were adopted from China. Family fun and everyday life is my primary focus and passion of scrapbooking. I began traditional scrapbooking back in 1998, completing vacation albums that my husband and I took. After becoming parents through adoption, my focus shifted to keeping traditional-annual albums as well as writing our oldest daughter’s lifebook , which is her story of her adoption from China. I love creating memories out of the ordinary and the extraordinary and knowing our daughters will have those memories for many years to come.

Short on time, a busy life and waiting for “The Call” to travel to China for our second daughter, this is what led me to switch to digital scrapbooking.  I have been using solely Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus 3.0 since 2010. I love the speed and ease of digital but also the creativeness that comes in using different design kits such as Sonshine Graphic Studio. I joined the Design Team of Sonshine Graphic Studio in January 2013.

When not scrapbooking, keeping up the family blog at cupcakeandsweetcheeks.blogspot.com, playing with the kids or taking the girls to dance class, I also enjoy church activities, being with family, spending time with some amazing girlfriends, going to the beach, living a healthier, more active lifestyle and cooking.

So, what does all of this mean? It means that I am wonderfully blessed to be working with Sonshine Graphic Studio and their amazing products and I get to see design some wonderful creations like this one below from their "Panda Love" line. I love the bright colors and versatility of this line along with the cute, cuddly Panda bears.
