ABOUT MOU

Mou Saha was born in Calcutta, India, and now lives in Tampa, Florida, with her husband, two kiddos, one puppy, and two fishes. Her scrapbooking journey began in 2004, when she first saw an issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. She soon became a subscriber, then a layout contributor, then a Dream Team member, and eventually a contributing writer.

Mou loves to experiment, particularly with mixed media techniques, as she creates scrapbook layouts about her children and her family's everyday life. A handmade girl at heart, her layouts almost always include handwritten journaling. Currently, she designs for 7gypsies, Anna Griffin, Big Picture Classes, Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft, Glitz Design, October Afternoon, and Tim Holtz. Above all, Mou loves waking up every morning and having a creative day!

MOU ANSWERS THE FIVE W's

Who are you?

I'm beginning to believe that I'm an artist.

What do you believe with all of your heart?

Making art makes a beautiful difference.

When did you know that this was your path?

About five years ago; it took time for the path to reveal itself.

Where is your favorite place on earth?

Home.

Why do you love your life?

I wake up every morning and do what I love to do.

How do you do everything you do?

It's a balancing act. Some days it works; some days things fall apart and I pick up the pieces and start over.
