Please allow our 2nd-hand sale organizer ONE TO TWO WEEKS AFTER THE SALE to organize your items and issue your credits. You will be contacted when your items and credit information are available. Store staff will not have this information available before you are contacted by the sale organizer. After you receive your tally, you can choose to take back any unsold items or leave them with us and we will donate them to a children’s art program (you are welcome to come to the store and look over your unsold items AFTER we contact you with your totals). Please respect these guidelines to help us help you.

Are you new to stamping or scrapbooking or looking for more supplies?

- The second-hand sale is a great way to get excellent bargains on rubber stamps, scrapbooking materials, tools, books, and magazines!

January 16th, 2013

Well, while we did not attend CHA this time around, we have still been very bizzy checking new products and organizing events for you.

We had a fabulous day on Saturday as we welcomed the Stampotique girls, boys, and much more to the Hive! Thanks to everybody for helping make it such a success. Daniza showed us some funky and cute samples with Minky and she also shared a make n take with everybody.

make n take

This coming Saturday, we are looking forward to you joining us as we celebrate all things new year! Calendar, Orthodox, and even Chinese… whatever you want to observe, we are here and going to party! I think there might even be a couple of spots lefts! So if you want to come to Bizzy B’s and enjoy a full day of fun, food and frivolity, pick up the phone and give us a bell at 416-203-0433! There are only a few more sleeps. “Celebrate good times, come on!”….in my best singing voice! LOL!

Happy New Year

Don’t forget that between these types of events we have a terrific line up of classes on a regular basis. Check our calendar HERE and get signed up to learn more about your creative side.

Now for a couple of big announcements! Some are not happening for a while but we want you to make sure the dates are saved on your calendars nice and early!

So, announcement #1, is that we think you need to save the date for the weekend of May 11 & 12. This is when we will be hosting a wonderful weekend of classes with Kelly Purkey.

Kelly Purkey

Kelly will be joining us from New York City and has been in the industry for several years. Some of you may know her from her Studio Calico work but has since branched off on her own and has her own line of stamps. For more information please check out her BLOG. We will, of course, provide you with more information as it becomes available. In the meantime, we would love to hear from those of you who already know of Kelly if you have something in particular you would like to see her teach as we are still in the working stage with the classes.

For announcement #2 May is going to be a big month around here! You will probably want to save the last weekend of the month (May 31 to June 2) as well, as we welcome back the divine Ms. Dina!

Dina at BB sept 2012

Yep Dina Wakley is returning to the Hive for another round of fun! I think she may need to move into Bizzy B’s for a week as I am having a hard time deciding on all those yummy classes I have to choose from!

Announcement #3 (can you believe it? 3 in one day!!) is for you to make sure you are starting to do your New Year’s purge to get ready for our 2nd-Hand Stamp Sale. This will take place on February 23rd this year. Vendor packages will be available soon. Details are posted on our February 2013 calendar HERE.

So there you have it! Great events coming down the honey pot!! Sweet! It’s going to be a very lively and entertaining year around here and we trust you will be able to enjoy your time with us as we plan all these cool, inspirational, and creative moments for you all.

We will be keeping interest lists for both Kelly’s and Dina’s classes. So, if you think you may want to attend these classes, please give us a call and get your name on quickly. We will then contact everybody as soon as we nail down the actual classes. We are expecting these to be sold out!

We are also working on many other events for your artful pleasure in the coming months, so make sure you stay tuned as some of them maybe “pop-up” style events!!!! Make sure you join us on FACEBOOK and TWITTER, too.

Don’t forget to make some creative time today and have fun!

Thanks for all your support throughout the years.

We will be back with more updates soon!

Pick and Special Of The Week

December 3rd, 2012

Special Of The Week is…

hero stamps 2

Hero stamps 1

Hero Arts Cling Stamps And Clear Stamps

25% off!

Special runs from today through Sunday, December 9, 2012. We have a wide selection of these stamps available at Bizzy B’s!

*****

Pick Of The Week is…

paint dabbers

Paint dabbers!

These are great because they are very portable and you don’t have to worry about brushes. You can get several colours and fit them into a very small space, which is fantastic if you are taking your paints with you or if you just don’t want them to take up very much room in your crafting area. Eliminating the need for a brush also frees up more space. You don’t have brushes to wash when you’re finished, either. Clean-up is a breeze; just put the lid back on!

Come in and check out the Jenni Bowlin colours, along with our other paint dabbers.

NEED YOUR ATTENTION FOR OUR EXTENSION!

PLEASE NOTE WE ARE EXTENDING OUR

SAVE THE TAX EVENT (13% SAVINGS)

UNTIL THE END OF DAY TOMORROW – NOVEMBER 3RD

SO COME ON BY THE HIVE AND STOCK UP!


:-)   :-)   :-)   :-)   :-)


November 2 update

November 2nd, 2012

Reminder: our Spooking Savings

continues through today!

Be sure to come in today to

SAVE THE TAX!

See the post from Wednesday for all details.


For those taking the Waxing Poetic II class on Sunday, November 4, Nancy has provided some updated information:

Just a reminder that that next Sunday is the morning the clocks change (fall back), just so people don’t show up an hour earlier!!! Or some 2 hours ! LOL!

Also, Nancy didn’t get a chance to mention to everyone what to bring for next class. Some items were listed in the class details, but here is the more specific list:

- a wood board (medium size 8×10 or 9×12 inches, not too large)

- background paper (3 different but similar colour/theme – see attached sample)

- one simple image (high contrast black & white image with no grey areas)

- embellishments (keeping with the same theme)

Keep it simple.

Think in thirds: one third of the canvas can be texture, one a photo/photo transfer, and the other let the paper be a feature. Add one larger element or 3 smaller ones.

Bird Journal class with Dina Wakley

August 7th, 2012

We now have the official description for Dina’s bird journal class. If you are signed up for the class, please take note of the necessary items for you to bring. Here is the information:

Birds Of A Feather Journal

Sunday, September 23, 2012
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
$50.00

Come and learn how to draw and paint artsy mixed-media birds…no drawing experience required! We’ll craft a little journal with a scraped and painted background (one of my absolute favorite techniques). Then I’ll show you how to add little birdies. We’ll fill the pages with collage and quotes. Your journal will sing and soar with color!

Please bring:
- Standard crafting tool kit (scissors, paint brushes, pencil, etc.)
- White acrylic gesso
- Acrylic paint in your favorite colors.
- Paint brushes, including a small flat brush, size 4 to 6.
- Optional: Any of your favorite stamps. I will bring an large assortment for class use, but bring any that you like as well.
- Optional: Permanent Ink pads. I like Ranger Archival pads because they’re permanent and stamp well on paint and ink. I will have some to share, but it might be nice for you to have your own.

Dina Wakley Additonal Class Possibility

August 2nd, 2012

A little birdie told me… there is a rumour that Dina is willing to teach a special class, just for us, if there is enough interest!

We have had an overwhelming response to the other classes that we posted for Dina, which filled up quickly and some have sold out already.

So, Dina is thinking of adding a class that would be a special combination of two of her classes and you would make a bird journal.

If you’re interested, please let us know ASAP so we can make arrangements to add this class.

416-203-0433

This class would be added on Sunday morning, for 3 hours, and would cost $50.00. If this class is added, the Encaustic class scheduled for Sunday afternoon would then take place at 1 PM rather than 12 PM.

***Please note that these are sample images of Dina’s work and a sample description. Proper description from Dina will be coming soon!***
