Saying Goodbye To Studio A

I am selfishly disappointed. I loved that column. And like many others, the only reason I kept my subscription. But I am also glad to see you move on. I know there can only be more good things from you in the future. I hope you'll keep up with online education. I hear your Yesterday and Today class at BPS is awesome. I hope you'll do that one again!

Ali, i adore your column and your work. THANK YOU for all of your inspiration- you offer so much more than scrapbook pages and layouts! I have learned so much from your creative process. I am looking forward to where ever God takes you next!! Many blessings to you.

i knew this day would come and frankly i only still bought the magazine for your articles. I will miss seeing all your lovely layouts and tips in print, i have them all in a separate binder to browse through on cold winter days :) I am glad you will still be doing work DD, love your digital stuff too!! So where are you headed now, any goals you can share with us? Thank you so much for all your fabulous inspiration through CK, looking forward to see your new endeavors.

Wow, you and Becky both leaving CK...I will continue my subscription but you will be missed there!

It may sound ungracious but I'm so pleased that you have jumped off that sinking ship.
I wish many, many wonderful things for you as you embark on the next chapter of your journey Ali!

I'm sorry to hear you're leaving CK. I'm kind of worried that with you and other contributors leaving, that this is the beginning of the end of CK. :( I wish you the best of luck and will continue to follow you here.

Ali,
I'll miss Studio A in CK but I'll still be checking your blog regularly like I always do. I love your approach to storytelling and the creative freedom you've given me. It has helped me grow alot. I salute you for knowing when it's time to move on and put your energy into new things. I wish you all the best in your future projects. I'll be watching!

So sad! I always flipped to your article first when the new issue of CK landed in my mailbox. But things change and life has to keep moving forward. I can't wait to see what you will be up to next...I am sure it will be wonderful!

I understand the need to move forward, but as a CK buyer of course I'm sorry for myself! For the last few years, CK seemed to be all about pusing the creative envelope and wasn't as appealing to a scrapper like me, who focuses on photos and stories first. I only picked up CK b/c of your column and Becky's sketches.
But I confess I've started liking the mag again since they've gotten back to more multi-photo LO's and haven't been quite so "artsy" for want of a better word. But without Studio A and Becky's sketches, the mag def. loses a lot of appeal, IMO.
Regardless, I'm glad that you're happy about the ability to explore new opportunities and I look forward to what you come with!

Ali, I will miss Studio A.

Ali you will definitely be missed in CK. As with so many others you were one of the main reasons I subscribed to it when I did. I have always loved the simple, effective and honest way you teach and scrapbook about the everyday. Though much of my scrapbooking is slightly different than your style, I have always been inspired, have always learned, have always connected to your words and when I scrapbook I hear your words in my head, that no matter what Iam creating its "OK".
Good luck with your new endevors. I can't wait to hear about some of them. Peace. :)

Good luck on moving forward! I've always enjoyed your work, and wish you the best on your journey! :)

I am so sad to hear this news. I love your column and feel it is one of the best features of the magazine. I hope you enjoy your future pursuits.

Wow, so sad. I will miss you in the magazine and feel blessed that we'll still be connected here. With both you and Becky gone it will be a much different magazine.... Wishing you the best of luck for what comes next and I'm excited to join you for the ride.

Studio A was the best part of CK. I cancelled my subscription and my only regret was maybe missing your work. Your website is a favorite on my toolbar and I try to visit everyday. I wish I were an artist like you. I love everything about your photographs, your creativity and imagination. If there were an Ali Edwards magazine, I promise would subscribe. I wish you all the best in your creative journey through scrapbooking, photographing, and life journaling. You are an inspiration.

So sad about this.

I love reading the content of your article and blog very much. Even though our "styles" may be very different, I enjoyed your prompts and the ability to make me think about the story that I want to tell.
In my specific case, I am saddened that you are leaving. You said that you hope to do more education, but for me that means money that I will have to pay for an online class, that unfortunately is always out of my price range.
I'm excited that you are moving forward and will continue to blog. Keep your chin up and your creativity flowing. It positively effects others!

where one door closes another opens....can't wait to see what comes next! it also was my fav part of the mag:( sorry to see it go. as long as the inspiration / ideas keep coming!

I love to see your work in CK. That's the first article that I look at and read. More than once. Sad to see you go from their pages. I regularly read your blog, however there is something special about your work in the mag.
Good luck on your new adventures.

I am so bummed about this! Your column is one of the main reasons I subscribe to CK. I got such great ideas from it each month and your examples showed us how to tell the story and create in a realistic way. The magazine is so artsy now and I have enjoyed seeing pages like yours that focused on the story. I am looking forward to seeing what comes for you now and will continue to watch your blog! Thanks for all the inspiration!
