Yep. You can call me geeky.
That’s because I am really digging bows right now. Specifically, I’m liking the nerdy, Steve Urkel kind of bow ties a whole lot.
You can find them on lots of products right now!
They are on rings.
They come as accessories for dogs.
I must attempt to tie one onto my dog soon. If only I could find a pair of dog-sized Wayfarer glasses for him, too!
And they even come printed on T-shirts.
That’s my kind of tying!
And they are making their way into the paper crafting world.

Check out these cute bow clips from Heidi Swapp.
And I get a kick out of Hambly Studios’ bow tie transparencies, too!

Bow ties from Hambly!
If you ask me, it is all very bow-tiful.
So I had to get in on the bow tie fun and make a card.

Hello, Bow-tiful Card by Teri Anderson
I dedicate it to all of you because I think you all are quite bow-tiful!
Want to win your own stamp set to make your own bow tie inspired cards?
I have a Love n’ Breakfast stamp set from Lawn Fawn to give to one of you.
It has the sweet bow tie and the toaster I used on my card! Leave a comment telling me something or someone you’d like to put a bow tie on by Friday, May 4th at 5 pm MDT. I’ll pick one of you to win the stamp set!
Have a bow-tiful day!
Teri Anderson

i like to put bow ties on my little yorkie. thanks for the chance to win.
I’d like to see my lovely husband in a bow tie. He would look really handsome – but we don’t get to dinner jacket events these days.
I love to get bow ties for my cat Jazz. He has a silver, white, and pink bow tie. While he looks bored as I dress him up, I know deep down he loves being so glamorous.
Isn’t that T-shirt inspired by Doctor Who? The eleventh doctor says that a lot so I was thinking of professor-type bow ties until I read someones comment about a dinner jacket.. yummy, just about anybody in one of those would be good – David Tennant, perhaps?
Love Lawn Fawn! Love nerdy stuff too and I’d probably put a bowtie on my teddy bear. He actually came with one, so I’ll have to see where it is first.
Those little pieces of toast need a bow tie…lol! Darling stamp set, thanks so much for the chance to win!
I’m a geek! I want to make some paper bow tie items to send my daughter in the jungles of South America.

A bow tie on my handy red pen might be fun.

My 30-something son loves his bow ties!!!!
I have the cutest little black miniature poodle named Jon Luc. He came with that name, so I just had to adopt him. He would look very handsome with a bowtie.
Hee hee…that little smiling toaster with his jaunty bow tie is just too cute! Thanks for the chance to win this awesome stamp set!
Love the bow tie on the puppy. My yorkie would probably go crazy if I put something like that around her neck – but I’d love to try a pretty pink bow on her anyway. Cute stamps.
Love the dog and it would be great to win the cute stamps.
I’d put a bowtie on my husband!
I’ve never even seen my boyfriend in tie let alone a bow tie! That would be awesome!
I think my boyfriend needs a bowtie.
I love Lawn Fawn stamps and this set is adorable! Love that photo of the dog with his bow tie and your fabulous toaster card!

The bow tie on the toaster is super duper cute!!! Now I want to put one on everything. And I know sometimes others would like to put one on my mouth…lol
super cute card! I would like to put a bow tie on my adorable 2 yr. old son. Don’t think he would keep it on though.
This set is “delicious”!!! and I’d be super happy to win it!
I would put a bow tie on my bird bath. Each time I looked out at it, it would make me smile! Thanks for the chance to win!
I hadn’t seen this new trend yet, but it sure is a cute one. Thanks for the chance to win a great prize from Lawn Fawn.
Bowties are a nice change and show personality. I’d like to put one on my next card by winning the breakfast set! It is an adorable set. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would put a Bow tie on my dogs. Great babies they are and would look so adorable if they would let me. Otherwise I would think that toast would look adorable with a bow tie. Thanks so much for the chance to get a bow tie.
My 6-yr-old son would look adorable in a bow tie!
Since I spend so much time on this little black box (computer) I could jazz it up with some funny bow ties.
That’s such a cute set! Now that you’ve got me thinking..I may just come up with a creative way to put a bow tie on bacon for my bf for father’s day since he loves bacon so much.
Great card Teri! I’d love to put a bow tie on my Russian Blue cat — so distinguished (and fun)!
Lawn Fawn stamps are so cute! Love the card you made! I think it would be super fun to have a bow tie day at work (I work in an elementary school) as a spirit day. So, I guess that I would like to see our student body in bow ties!
So cute! I am fully on board with the mustache and bow tie trends – manly and fun!!!
I love bow ties… I remember my Dad wearing one to work.
I would put one on my pet rooster. Ha! That’s if I could catch him…

I’d love to wear a bow tie myself! I have one with beautiful blue butterflies all over it – it needs a special outfit to go with it.
I would love to put a bow tie on my cat, but he would have nothing to do with it!
I could always put a bow-tie on my hubby, but I don’t think he’d be very happy about it. LOL I doubt my daughters would be very thrilled either. I think I will have to stick with putting the bow-ties on cutesy stamps such as dogs or birds or maybe even on a bee or butterfly.
Thanks for a chance to win a great stamp set.
I’m thinking a gnome would look stinkin’ cute in a bow tie … thanks for the chance to win.
I’d put a cut pink bow tie on my Schnauzer even if she is girl, LOL
Fun post and card, Teri!
I think my son would look so cute in a bowtie…but – he’s 12, and we’re lucky if he puts long pants and a belt on for church. *sigh*
I love Lawn Fawn stamps and don’t have this set yet. Thanks for the chance!
I’d love to try and put bowties on my two grandsons, not sure if I would be successful. Thanks for the opportunity to win this great prize.
I’d love to put a now tie on my adorable “blonde” Kairn terrier.
I think my grandsons would look cute in bow ties.
