Saying Goodbye To Studio A

Good for you for finding something new. I never subscribed, but when I did buy them I enjoyed your stuff. But since I get a lot of my inspiration from you here - I won't miss "you" and am looking forward to being part of your new adventures.

I am so sad that you won't be featured every month. I truly thought you were the best part of the magazine. My heart is sad for where the scrapbook industry is headed. I wish you the best of luck with everything you do. Thanks so much for all the inspiration.

What did CK do to that made all the favorites leave during the same issue? Something had to have happened there.
:(
I'm glad you are still blogging and teaching- you are so good at it and so inspiring.

Ali, your style and theory of scrapbooking will direct the future of the craft...as it has thus far! Your blog and future books will keep all your ideas flowing to your flock of followers! me included.
thanks for giving of yourself.

While I am sad since you're article was the only one I ever read word for word every month, I am excited to see where the future takes you. I hope to see more from you again even if in a different avenue. Good luck on wherever your adventures are taking you!

Ali - will miss your column tremendously, as so many others have stated. I think I can safely say you inspire us all every day, and we all look forward to what the future holds for you. Beginnings are always exciting and scary, but they must come in life. God bless.

Ali, I am so sad. You are the main reason I subscribe to Creating Keepsakes and will definitely miss flipping through the magazine to find your article. I hope all is well with you and wish you much luck on your new journey. I will continue to check your blog and look forward to your online classes. By the way, how is your Yesterday and Today class coming along? I wanted to play this year but my teaching schedule is a bit hectic and I don't have as much time to scrapbook as I'd like to.
Thank you so much for the inspiration! As always, you are amazing and I know that your next adventure will be grand! Looking forward to seeing what you do next,
Autumn

Ali, friend... I haven't scrapbooked a whole lot in recent years, but I kept collecting CK mags even after I left the company just because of your article & Becky's. Your work has always been eye candy. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!
Change is good. :)

I have enjoyed Studio A through the years and will definitely miss it. THANK YOU so much for sharing your creativity in CK and especially here :-) I can't wait to see what you'll do next! Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

Another commenter just chiming in with nothin' but love for your years of top-notch, inspirational work in CK...my first pub with CK was the December issue, so now it's doubly special, knowing it contains your last Studio A article! I love and will continue to follow your blog daily as always...thanks for being who you are! :)

sigh. what a bummer. I wont be reupping my subscription now, but I am glad to be able to find you here!!! Thansk for all of the inspiration- hope you make some more books in the future. I am sad I cant find your last one anywhere~!

Oh Ali,I know you have so many wonderful ideas to share with us. Your
classes and products you create are just wonderful. I will miss your column as well, but as I emailed you before I knew that there would be an Ali Edwards line of some sort. Please create more for us to buy.
Please still plan the trip to Rome!!!!!

I want to say to you no, no no! First Simple Scrapbooks (both it and the magazine); then Making Memories closing, then scenic route paper company shutting down and now this - surely there has never been a year of worse news in the scrapbooking industry and I must say, the loss of Studio A - my favourite column in any magazine ever is just too much. Like so many others I will miss the column beyond words. After that rant though - thank you for all the faboulous pages and articles over the years and I will continue to enjoy your work here and elsewhere.

I guess I am just repeating many of the comments that others have already shared, but you can never have too much of a good thing right? I am so disappointed that the column is ending. Your scrapbooking perspective is so unique, refreshing, simple, creative, and inspiring. The column truly reflected all of those aspects and was the first section I turned to every time I received CK in the mail. Best of luck on new adventures...

Ali, I will miss your Studio A it is my favourite part of CK and the reason I started buying the mag in the first place. I have a folder that I keep all your Studio A articles in so I can find inspiration easy when I need to and I have nearly every article starting back in 2006. Will look forward to the work you do in the future and of course I am sure I will continue to be inspired by your blog. Thanks Clare

I agree with a lot of other commenters...Studio A was the first thing I looked at in my CK magazine. I will miss that. However, I am now taking the yesterday and today class and enjoying it immensely. I am way behind, but the good thing is that it will last longer that way! I hope you continue to share your scrapbooking genius with us in other ways....

Noo! First Becky, now you. CK won't have the same appeal anymore. :(

Wow. I'm very sorry to see that column go, and like many others it is yet another loss from CK that diminishes its appeal for me. That said, CK is one of the only magazines that I go back through and re read constantly, but I will very much miss your column. Hopefully this means you'll be posting more layouts and tips on your blog now?

Studio A was the very reason for me to buy CK... but I can't wait what you've planned to do next... (great things, for sure!) Thanks so much for all the inspiration!!!

Ali -
Good luck in your new adventures! I'll continue to follow you here, but I'm so sad that CK has lost both you and Becky Higgins! Can't imagine what the magazine will be without you!
