Ali Edwards Ends Studio A Column in Creating Keepsakes

November 24, 2009 By 6 Comments

Ali Edwards announced today via her blog that the December issue was her last Studio A column for Creating Keepsakes magazine.

Edwards has written the Studio A column for Creating Keepsakes since January 2006, a run of 3 entire years for the popular column. She was “discovered” by Creating Keepsakes after being one of the winners of the 2003 Hall of Fame contest. Over her time with the magazine, she has also written four titles for the magazine’s book imprint: A Designer’s Eye for Scrapbooking, A Designer’s Eye for Scrapbooking with Patterned Paper, Life Artist, and Sharing Your Story: Recording Life’s Details with Mini Books. Edwards’ handwriting is iconic in the scrapbook industry, available for download as a popular font and as part of the many products she’s been designing recently.

With the Studio A column ended by “mutual” decision with Creating Keepsakes’ editors, will readers see any more of Edwards in the magazine? She says that at this time that “nothing is currently scheduled” but that “you may potentially see some feature articles from me in the future.”

So what will Edwards be doing in the future with her column to occupy her creativity? She says that she plans to concentrate on her wildly successful blogging, and on her product lines for Designer Digitals (pictured above) and  Technique Tuesday (pictured below).

    So, is there going to be anything recongnizable left in CK? I just got a renewal notice from them, but I’m holding off because I’m doubtful they’re going to pull through. It doesn’t help that they’ve lost all the big names…Becky Higgins, Ali Edwards, Jessica Sprague. What a shame.

    There’s nothing left to CK. Kind of makes me mad that I wasted money on a subscription with Ali and Becky now gone

    There is a HUGE shake-up going on within CK…. Becky Higgins gone, Ali’s announcement and Lisa Bearnson just posted on her blog that she will no longer be with the CK team. Is this truly “coincidental”??? Are all of these scrap celebrities really leaving “to spend more time with their families”???? I am shocked and wish I could be a fly on the wall in the CK boardroom to hear what is happening within the industry….

In September, Becky Higgins announced her departure from the magazine, and then just yesterday, Ali Edwards announced the end of her Studio A column. [...]
