To make my card, I pulled out my trusty old DCWV 'The Pet Stack' papers that I use for almost all of my animal cards. Its really getting low, either someone has to come out with new pet papers, or I'm going to have to buy another stack! LOL! I added ribbon and a photo hinge for embellishment.
So what does the phrase 'You're the Cat's Meow!' mean anyway? Does anyone know that could enlighten me? I have several cat stamp sets, and every set I own includes this phrase and I can't for the life of me figure out what its suppose to mean.
AWWW Amy this is fabulous!!!! TOOOOO SWEET!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, love the little kitty!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card! Love it!
ReplyDelete"You're the cat's meow" is an old, old saying....I think like back from the 30's or 40's. It basically means "You're the best."
Hi Amy!Very cute kitty card! Not sure about the origin of the saying either. Might have to Goggle it! ;) Tracy
ReplyDeleteThis turned out GREAT, Amy! I love the papers you chose and how you colored the kitty! Also, you chose the purrrfect embellishment! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteGREAT job of coloring Amy and the layout is perfect! Such a cute creation! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute. Love the choice of patterned paper. Thankfully DCWV still has that pack available so you can buy more.
ReplyDeleteHere's what your saying means:
Cat's meow - Something considered to be outstanding
Coined by American cartoonist Thomas a. Dorgan (1877-1929) whose work appears in many American newspapers.
It was popular in the 20s along with "you're the bee's knees" and "you're the cat's pajamas" and other such idioms that meant that you're terrific.
