Saying Goodbye To Studio A

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!

One mor "oh no!" here. ;( But I'm happy I will be able to still follow you on your blog. This is already huge!! Thanks for the inspiration. You're one of the best teacher (eventhough just online) I ever had! :)

I have been subscribing to CK American Mag (I live in Australia) since you have been in it, it is the only reason I read CK. I love your work and love to follow your blog and also your designs on Designer Digitals. I hope you will have a lot more of your work on your blog or we will be able to find your teachings elsewhere, good luck.

Ali~ LIke the others here, you have impacted my life way beyond scrapbooking. I'm also sad to say goodbye to Studio A (and CK since I won't renew), but know that this will allow space in your very busy life for some other creative goodness to make its way into being. Looking forward to that for you, and for us.

Soooo exciting for you- wishing you all the best with your future endeavours!!!
(I am just a teeny bit sad tho'; have collected all the studio A articles since you started and will miss your inspirational work a whole lot. :( Ah, well...I have all your books and I'll bind the articles into another 'book'!!...could be an idea for CK to consider!!!....
All the very best to you & yours....
Enjoy the journey
Thanks for your inspirational 'stuff'

Wow, with you and Becky both leaving, there is no reason to continue my subscription. I'm so thankful for your blog - it's the best. Thanks for sharing with us each and every week!

Twenty-ten, begin again! Looking forward to what the future brings and hoping that you continue to share your life with your fans.

Ali this is sad! Its the only reason I subscribed / bought the magazine! Good luck with what you plan next, and thank you for blogging about your stories.

Good Luck on future projects and I look forward to seeing more online blogging and inspiration from you!

I have to say Ali that I will miss Studio A, I flick to it first as soon as I get the magazine out here in New Zealand. I can totally understand the moving on though....one door closes and another one opens.....I always like to believe that a better door opens. You will be missed in the magazine, I know that I am an avid blog follower of you, you inspire so many people in so many different ways, you are such a cool person...I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing where life takes you in the days ahead, God Bless You and your beautiful family richly!

I am truly saddened. I hope you will do something that will let me getting my monthly Ali inspiration! I don't think many of my scrapbooks would be the without you!!!

Dear Ali~
I am excited to hear that you have new things on the horizon that will be exciting for both your faithful followers + readership, but most importantly you.
I am not a scrapbooker, but I did buy CK specifically for your column. Your creative, clean, and graphic way of expressing ideas and telling a story has always appealed to me.
I would also like to thank you publicly because you have always shared your not-so-run-of-the-mill sources with your readership both in your CK colum and here on your blog--which on many an occasion has included our small family company. You have always shown respect and integrity in this regard.
I will miss your column, but have no doubt that we will all be lucky enough to see you in other places, whether it be new book publications or guest editorials, teaching venues or right here on your blog.
Ali, Best Wishes for what is beyond the horizon!

I'm sorry to hear that you were my main reason why I got subscribtion to this magazine:( I sure will miss that column:( good luck with your other creations

I will definitely miss your column. Like many have said here, it was the reason why I subscribed to CK. Best of luck to you in the future!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when reading the title of this post, as for me (someone who has never actually seen the magazine in print, as I have never come across it for sale here in Germany) this is Studio A. This blog, this space of yours, it's where the magic happens, where you share your stories and your work with us. I have enjoyed browsing the pdf archive though and am really looking forward to some new-to-me articles.

You are the only reason I kept my subscription. I have always found inspiration from your feature. I see the demise of the magazine.
