Challenge card/New release announced!

This is the Father's Day card I made for my hubby - the father of our four kids! I have a challenge going on over at Sundays With Crissy, and this month the theme is tags or tickets.  I made a tag that doubles as a book-mark (if he so wishes to use it that way).  I was really inspired by the layout on one of my DT's posts this month and kind of copied it.  Here's the card that inspired me by Carole.

Here's a pic with the tag pulled out:

I've entered the following challenges: 

Sundays With Crissy: Tags or Tickets

Daisy Doodles Creative Challenges: Anything Goes

Sparkle Creations: Beach

The House That Stamps Built: Head for the Beach

The Sisterhood of Crafters: Going in Circles

Digital Tuesday Challenge: Tag It!

My Mum's Craft Shop Challenges: About the Boys

Fab n' Funky: Polka Dots (hard to see, but they're there- light gold polka dots on the large blue DP!)

I used my computer and printer to type the message on the tag, except for "You mean the World to me" which is a sentiment from the JustRite "Kindness" set. 

I used my digi image from last month (not a new release) "One Cool Cat" and coloured him with the following Copics:

Umbrella red part: R24, 29, C3, 4

Umbrella white part: C0, 1, 3

Cat: YR21, 23, 24, 27, E99, W5, 4

Sunglasses: E15, 18, 19

Chair: YG25, 97, W4

Water: BG01, 10, 11,  53, blender 0

Sky: B0000, 000, 00, blender 0

Sand: E81, 84, Y28, W5

The die cuts are from an older Cuttlebug tag die set I picked up at Michael's a few years ago. I'm not aware of the name of it.  

Also, there's a brand new rubber/die release over at Whimsy today!  And, there's a new PAPER magazine that is coming out!! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!  I am putting all the details below for your convenience.
