Saying Goodbye To Studio A

Wow. Studio A and Becky's Sketch were the first two things I always read in CK. It's also the only reason I'm still a subscriber. I'm sad to see both of you leaving.
On the other hand, I'm so glad that you will still be blogging. You are so inspiring on so many levels for me. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. I will look forward to continue supporting your creative endeavors here.

selfishly she screams "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Best of luck to you in your neventures!

I just wanted to let you know that I always loved and was inspired by your column. I look forward to seeing even more scrapbooking inspiration from you in the future. Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us!

I will definitely miss Studio A (it was my favorite column each month!) but I am excited to see what you have up your sleeves next.

Your column was the reason I subscribed to CK...and I just renewed my subscription a few hours ago!!!!!! shoot!!!!!
All the best, and I look forward to your blog.

First Oprah, and now you (boo hoo)! Hope you continue your blog and books (maybe mini books for Ella)!

Wow, I am crushed. Your column was easily my favorite, and consistently had creative, attractive, but doable ideas. Does this mean no new books too?
Thank goodness we still have the blog! Much appreciation for all that you do and all that you share.

It's like the end of an era! Seriously. This is the only mag (and I have subscribed to many over the years) where I consistently flip to the same sectin FIRST the minute it hits my doorstep, and that has always been Studio A. BUT---totally excited about all you are doing and continue to do and every stage that is next. Would LOVE to see those PDFs soon. =) Thanks for time well spent in "Studio A." ;-)

As others have said, your column was the reason I bought the magazine. I will continue to follow your work here.

So sad to see you leave CK!! I always enjoyed your column and Becky Higgins and now you're both gone. :( I'm looking forward to your next adventure in scrapbooking.

Studio A was definitely a favorite. Thank you and best wishes.

I will miss Studio A. I was about to re-subscribe but am thinking otherwise now. You are such an inspiration to us all. I look forward to following your future endeavors, I know I will not be disappointed. Happy that you are going to continue blogging. Every morning as I boot up my computer I always think "I wonder what Ms. Ali has to say or show today?" As long as I get my "Ali fix" somewhere, I have no complaints. Here's to moving onward and upward, right?!!!! Supporting you all the way. Happy Thanksgiving!

I am SO bummed about this, BUT I am happy for you. I've saved all your articles and often look at them for inspiration. Thanks so much for your CK contribution over the years and good luck on your journey.

I will so miss Studio A. It was the main reason for my subscription to CK. I very much hope you're still planning on sharing your creativity in some form that I can afford. If CK have made this decision, then I think they've made a huge mistake.
I've learnt a lot from you ... Thank you, Ali. Good luck with your future endeavors, you have heaps of talent and vision and a great philosophy. I hope you're able to go forward with your talents in the way that feels best for you.

Oh no! Your column is the only reason i buy the magazine! I often go back and read old column's and find inspiration. Thanks for all the hard work you've put into studio A over the years. Are there any plans for new books? Looking forward to seeing what's next from you.

Oh, no!!! Your column is my favorite thing about CK. I will continue to look for your work in other places. I am taking Yesterday & Today now, and hope to take more online classes that you teach. I know you'll be super succesful in everything you do.

Look up the words "inspiration" and "class act" in the dictionary, Ali, and you will see a photo of yourself. So many of us have struggled at times to give strength to what we do as scrapbookers and you have helped us realize that what we do is life itself. May your next chapter be as rewarding as the pages from your past. We welcome the journey with you! Thank you.

Sorry to see the end of an era with CK with all my favorites leaving the magazine. Good luck with the future endeavors. You will inspire whatever you do!

So grateful for all your inspiration at CK over the years, and for that original article that told about your blog here (first time I even heard the word!).
So many great magazines have folded this year, CK and The Week were the only two I still received. I'm sure CK will be capable of new great things, but my subscription will now run out. Between Write-Click-Scrapbook and your site, I have all the inspiration I need right here.

so very sad to hear the news Ali. Your column is the only reason I get CK. How are we going to see your work? Oh my, what will I do?
