Saying Goodbye To Studio A

Oh how sad for us. this is worse than Oprah leaving. I do look forward to what ever future projects you work on. I'm loving Y&T. I will miss my monthly dose of Ali in CK. And the last few months you've had 2 articles and I've felt so spoiled.
Good luck in your future adventures; I will be happy to tag along for the ride.

I have taken 1/2 the day to reflect on this news, grateful for all you have given me in terms of documentation, creativity and observation. I am welling up, already missing your input, you creative objectivity, your feelings through words. How much you have shared of yourself and your family. I loved every single minute. I will continue to follow your work whatever it may be, whatever direction. Thank you for the inspirations, for keeping it real, for making all of us want more, and we really do want more. For printing every article, saving and documenting in a "bible" type application everything you have ever shared. Thank you. I have learned more and shared more in my albums because of you. I am forever grateful. I look forward to everything you produce in the future that you share with us, you give us strength. You give us the desire. You give us courage to try and explore. You have made me better at the craft, the art, the expression. You have made me stop and think. You have made me document and share. I can only hope this is the beginning of something bigger and better. I am smitten and I am not the only one. Continue . . . please. . . . we are all listening, waiting and wanting more.

I don't want to be a CK basher, but I too have continued to keep my subscription because of your column. I really hope you continue to be a strong presence in this industry. You are one of the best. A constant inspiration.

I will miss you. " )

you will be missed. I have always enjoyed your articles, enjoyed meeting you at CKU, and will continue to enjoy your blog. God bless.

wow.. the magazine will not be the same for me without you in it. I am thrilled that you will be continuing with both Designer Digitals and also Tech.Tuesday stamps as I love all of what you do there.. but again, the mag will not be the same for me!!

I am really sad to hear about you leaving CK, I subscribed for your article so it makes it easier to not renew as I have been extremely disappointed in the content of the magazine lately. I am excited for you and I am LOVING your Yesterday and Today class at Big Picture Scrapbooking.

The only reason I ever got CK was for your articles. Loved them completely. Congratulations for the longevity you have and many blessings to you for future stuff. :)

It is a season of change.Your column was the the reason I subscribed to CK.I will miss it.

I am sad to see you leave CK. Your column is one of the reasons I continue my subscription. I love the inspiration. I also have enjoyed your technique tuesday stamps/projects. I hope that your new journey is fun. This will truly be a loss to ck and I imagine a loss of subscription renewals.

Dear Ali,
'So glad to hear of your new and continued ventures. I hope that I am lucky enough to take one of your online classes.
Yes, you will be missed at CK; scrappers everywhere will still be inspired by you and for that we are so grateful.
Best Wishes,
Renee

Congrats for you and your family--but oh, Studio A was the only thing I really looked forward to. I was just organizing my scrap ideas (torn out mag pages) last night, and I think I have most all of the Studio A's.
But I'm currently in your BPS class--and cannot imagine the time, effort, energy, creativity, etc. that you have put into that to give so much to us. I look forward to what is to come.
Plus I go to your blog and Karen Russell's every day before heading out to work--my daily inspiration and jumpstart!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours--and thank you for the blessing you've been to me (and many others!)

Just wanted to let you know that your column was my favorite and the magazine won't be the same without you! And Good Luck to you in the future :)

Sad to see Studio A come to an end but excited to see what the future holds for you!

Sad to see the end of an era but thrilled to know we can still follow you on your blog. Thanks for teaching me that there are no rules for scrapbooking and to focus on the story and the pictures.

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! :)
