Saying Goodbye To Studio A

Oh, Ali, say it ain't so!! I have loved reading Studio A every month. You are truly inspiring. But good luck in everything the future holds for you. Studio A will be sorely missed.

I'm so inspired by your work and will miss seeing your input in CK. I wish you the best and I am SO glad you will still be blogging!!

it's often bittersweet to make such changes... but i am excited for you and your next endeavour! glad to hear you will still be blogging!! and glad i'm taking your class at BPS (even though i still have to scrap! lol!) best of luck to you ali!

Ali, I do understand change and growth and best wishes on all your endevavours. I am sorry to see u go....CK has become very boring these past few years and the only refreshing part of the mag was your article. I always looked forward to getting to your column. As u can see Studio A is a well read and loved part the the mag. As I said best wishes and will continue to be part of your blog fans.

Sad to hear you won't be a regular part of the magazine. But you are well known in the industry and I have no doubt you will continue to have a huge presence and influence. Can't wait to see what's next for you. Thank you for your blog. It is one of my favorites.

Lots of support Ali! :) Change can be a good thing. :)

I will miss you so much. Your article has always been my favorite, you are the reason why I kept subscribing. Best Wishes!

Like most people have said here, the only reason I subscribed to CK was because of your work. Now I don't know what I have to look forward to when I receive my magazine : / But I'm definitely looking forward to your next venture. As always, everything happens for a reason, and I'm sure whatever's next for you is going to be an awesome one : )

Dear Ali,
I will miss your column dearly, but I am always happy when someone gets to move forward.
Good luck!!!

I am so sorry to see your column go! I do think the magazine has declined in quality ever since Tracy White left, but your column and and Becky Higgins' sketches kept me reading. Now that both of you have left, I can't see myself puchasing CK again. Thank goodness for blogging! Best of luck to you -- you deserve it!

Change is always scary but good and Cheers to the next phase of your CREATIVE "life"!

You will be missed everytime I recieve my CK in the mail! Best wishes to any and all new adventures you are seeking :)

So sad your column won't be there any more, it was my favourite part of the magazine. I am looking forward to seeing what you will be doing and love reading your blog to see what is going on. I am also really enjoying your Yesterday & Today class, maybe some more online classes for you, I would love it !

This is sad news... I loved your column. you are such an amazing artist! I love you blog also! I hope whatever you do next you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing with us!

I loved your column and hope you continued success.
I look forward to the changes and hope that you continue to offer articles and great scrapbooking inspiration in the future.

Studio A was the first column I identified with- helping me make sense of colors, textures and shapes. It was where I learned that my memories were mine, and the portrayal of them on my scrapbook pages did not need to look a certain way or follow a certain convention. It was where I learned to love what I did for what it was - mine.
Maybe this is a sign that we all should start a move forward to our next great thing.
Thank you for guiding many of us on a journey we may have otherwise abandoned.

This makes me sad. Studio A has been my favorite part of getting a new CK every month. I am always inspired by your ideas and layouts and will miss my monthly fix. I wish you luck and contentment in this new chapter in your life.

When CK arrives at my doorstep, i sit down on the sofa, with a cup of coffee and directly open the pages to Studio A. It makes me sad to hear your column will end... But i also strongly believe that your decision to let go will bring something totally new and exciting your way. And your blog will continue to be an enormous inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your work the way you do Ali!

Hello Ali. Your column is the only reason I subscribe. I think, that's the end of CK. Thank you for the spirit you blown in the scrapbooking world. Love your work so much!

OH NO! My stomach just did a complete flip. I, too, have subscribed for a long time just because of Studio A, and will miss it so much. Good luck to you, and I'll be following your blog more!

Ali I can't wait to see what is next for you! You inspire me!

I am looking forward to more online learning, would love to attend a webinar or something along that line from you!

What a total bummer. Honestly, Studio A was the reason I had a subscription. Glad you will continue to be in our lives with the blog and on-line classes. For what it is worth- I feel like I am getting so much out of Yesterday and Today. For all the ideas, content, access to some of your past layouts, and downloads, I would pay double for the next class!!
Best of luck to you Ali. Change is good.

Hi Ali,
I just have to echo the sentiments of everyone else...yours was the first column I turned to in CK and the only column I borrowed an issue for a second time (from the library) for. But, the magazine seems to be moving in a new direction and I wondered how long you would fit each other.
Anyway, your work is brilliant and I am so enjoying Y&T and the way you are stretching me to create through your course. I look forward to seeing your future path.

Ali, your column was seriously the one that gave me the most practical layouts and designs in order to fit "the story". So sad to see it go from the magazine, but looking forward to seeing what is next for you!
