OMG! How CUTE! I love how you can look out over the ocean and see all the different shades of blue....beautiful!
Very nice!
Another rock star card Val! LOVE IT!
Love the layout on this card!
AWESOME card! Love all the white space. It really shows off the cool images. Love the floating bottle in the circle!
I like your card and the colors that you chose! the white space really allows the images to pop!
I find the ocean very peaceful and relaxing. When we lived in Florida, I would make it a point to drive by the beach every day - it was very calming no matter how chaotic my day had been.
Really cute card (also the other sneeks). What's not to like about the ocean, the colors, the sounds, the relaxing feeling one gets around the ocean, love it all! Thanks for the chance to win!
The best about the beach for me are the sunsets - absolutely awesome!
I love seeing it out my window.....I love walking along it's shores......I love poking around for "treasures"... I love watching my dog play in it (and chase seaweed!). I can't imagine living away from the water!
My favorite thing about the ocean is going to the boardwalk. The saltwater taffy, the pizza, the fudge...oh my!
A fantastic card!! I've never seen the ocean so I can't tell you my favourite thing. Maybe I need to win this set so I can experience the ocean through stamping. ;)
The ocean creatures are sooo cute! I love their personalities. Love your cards as well. Thanks for sharing. SharriC
Lovely card. I'm from the midwest, only been to the beach a few times ever but I love the sand. Know those around it sometimes don't, but I especially the white stuff I've been in at the Gulf coast of Florida.
Looks like a darling set and your cards are just too cute! Fantastic coloring!!!
Debi aka: SassiAngel
This is a fun, fun, fun set. I am so excited to have found these today and to be participating in the hop. I em'd you that my favorite thing about the ocean is how complete and content it makes you when you're there. I always find that I feel so small and a part of a larger plan when I am there.
LOVE THIS SET!! My favorite thing about the beach is hunting for seashells. My sister and I (both in our 30's) act like little kids all over again trying to find the best ones.
How cute. I love your card.

Oh so cute... My favorite part is just the peace I find when I am by the ocean, it is so calming.
Cute cards! I just love the sound of the ocean, it just makes me feel so peaceful (hard to explain).
This looks like another fun set. Your samples are great! My favorite thing about the ocean is walking up and down the shore finding all sorts of lovely little shells and what have you.
Oh my! I adore the stamp you chose for your card. This is exquisite!
What a cute set! Love your cards. My favorite thing about the ocean is when the tide goes out you can walk forever and look at all the little creatures that were left behind!
Well, I used to live in Florida, so my favorite part is hearing the waves crash and smelling that salty air!
Love your blog, beautiful work!
This is such a cute stamp set. Thanks for the chance to win it!
This one is my favorite so far!!! Love that border image! Personally...I don't like the beach!! I hate having sand everywhere! Maybe I need to come to SD and visit and you can change my mind!!

Val, all these cards with this new set are so cute! Me, I'm an east coast beach bunny, Outer Banks; favorite thing is the morning walk down the beach with my travel mug... We used to walk to the Kitty Hawk pier but we lost it in the last big hurricane :(

I love the ocean. The sound of the waves crashing is the best part.
I am loooooooovin' everything you have created with this set. Thanks for helpin' us out Val! I loooooove the ocean.... SoCal Ocean! :)
Okay- you are going to make me go public with this aren't you! I grew up in Hawaii - Love,Love, Love the ocean - love to just on the beach and hear the waves crash in but I am deathly afraid of water!!!! I will only walk/wade through the water that RISES up to the beach - I will not go into the ocean - but - the beach is the favorite place in the world! :)
AWESOME Val... you rocked the ocean baby! Thanks so much for playing with us! Have a great weekend!
Great cards, too cute. My favorite thing about the ocean--too many to pick just one. I love the colors, the breeze, the sound, finding shells, the sand.
How Cute!Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win some blog candy. Have a blessed weekend!
Adorable!! My favorite thing about the ocean is the sound of the waves as they roll up on the beach! Blessings and hugs!
I'm going to run out of my stamp budget for the month very quickly since I must have everything I've seen so far :-)
Sooo cool!!!! I wish I was closer to the ocean still, I miss it so much.
I love your cards with this set! I have always lived near the ocean - love the smells, the breeze and of course, eating seafood!! :)
This is one of my favorite sets this round. Love, love, love your card. Last time I was at the Ocean(San Diego too), I was 6 yrs old! I'd have to say I like the creaturs that live in it the most. Thanks for a chance to win.
I'm a cancer, so I love everything about the ocean: the smell, the sound, and the incredible beauty of it.
I love your blog, and visit often. Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

Hi Valerie, My favorite thing about the beach is soaking in some sun and reading a good book! Maybe a daydream or two about stamping my next card.
Very cute set, love your samples! I live in Vancouver BC so have grown up next to the ocean. I love the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks... I could sit and listen to that for hours!

My favorite thing about oceans is the peaceful sound of the waves.
I would use this set a ton! Love it! Your cards were wonderful too :)
We just move to the shore a few years ago... so it's all magical for me. My favorite thing would be moonlight walks along the beach. The sounds and the isolation make it a wonderful time.

Love the layout on this card!
Beautiful card! I love the scene. The washed up bottle is the perfect touch.
My favorite thing about the ocean is seeing my children's smiling faces as they splash in the water and discover new and fun things. We live pretty far from the ocean, but when we go, they LOVE it. So, my favorite thing is THEM. :) I love watching them experience new things. It warms my heart. :)
