All of the photos are in the video, but I am sharing some close-up shots here on the blog of each of the projects so that you can get a good look at them!

 A little paper inlay creates a striking snowman silhouette with the Poppystamps 1848 Snowman Love Craft Die.

We can't get enough of the 1881 Concentric Rings die – using a mix of colors and textures of cardstock, you can create a visually stunning base for the 1860 Celeste Snowflake. Try all sorts of colors! Each ring can be fit into the next like a puzzle.

My favorite craft die on this project is the 1886 Tiny Fawns – they are so little and yet the details are still clear. A little white gel pen produces some nice little spots on their backs for a realistic touch!

We've had lots of fun with the Poppystamps 1857 Taglet and Bow die –  I combined it with the 1851 Snowman Taglet to create a unique piece for the front of the card here. The base taglet is cut out in white, the bow is cut out in silver glitter cardstock (don't forget to use your metal adaptor plate!) and then the Snowman Taglet is cut out of soft, pink velvet paper. Layered together these combine for a simple and chic look.

One of our favorite combos for building a scene is the Poppystamps 1863 Snowscape and 1867 Open Hillside. The horizon lines in each die are staggered, so that when you layer them together you get a 3 dimensional look. And the 30094 Wrapped Stitched Rectangles create a cool border of white on white cardstock.

This one was so fun to put together! There are a lot of pieces, but its worth the effort to create such a fun scene. The circle frame is the Poppystamps 1940 Pointed Circle Frames and I love how the little pinpoints provide a little extra detail to the cardstock's texture. The lighter aqua background is a circle cut out slightly smaller than the frame using the 30087 Circle Basics – you could freehand cut out the circle, just making sure its a little bit smaller than the frame. But using the circle dies for making this piece is a lot easier.

The other two components of the scene are the Poppystamps 1905 Tiny Polar Bears and the 99805 Snowbanks Drift (for the hill with the trees on it). I cut the Snowbanks Drift out of some white glitter cardstock for extra sparkle and it looks just like a frosty winter wonderland. And those polar bears? Each time you run the die, you get 5 bears to choose from for your scene!

I think this Holiday Candle card is especially fun! I used the 99803 Candle Centerpiece (cut out of metallic gold cardstock) for the center of the card and paper pieced red and green cardstock into the open areas. But beneath that I used the 99790 Holly Collage and paper pieced in the holly cutouts that I had colored with Distressed Oxide ink (Peeled Paint, Fossilized Amber and a touch of Faded Jeans). Adding those green leaves into open spaces on the white creates an artistic contrast.

The Pointed Rectangle Frame from poppystamps makes a subtle white on white border.

The 99801 Snowman Heart Collage creates the silhouette of a snowman inside a heart – and I filled it with some soft velvet paper in pink. The hat, scarf, heart, nose, buttons and eyes are included with the die and can be used to cut out and decorate the snowman.

I tried to create an angle on the card by slightly shifting the eyes and carrot nose to the right. This adds a little dimension!

I have designed a lot of word dies this year using the "perky" script, so I created the 99858 Merry Christmas Perky Script to add to the collection. This Merry Christmas is a good basic size that works with lots of designs.

I added "merry" to a small strip of green cardstock and then tucked it under the 99849 Poinsettia Oval (which was cut out of shiny gold cardstock).  The Poinsettia Oval works with the 99846 Poinsettia Oval Background so that I can fill the open spaces with some deep red cardstock.

The highlight on the 99852 Stitched Circle Cabin is the glittering roof! I wanted to take this single die and transform it into something more 3-dimensional. So I cut it out several times – out of the white cardsock for the base, but also out of pink for the sides of the cabin and out of white glitter cardstock for the snowy roof. Once I had all of my pieces I layered them together for an easy – but more interesting – composition on the card.

I don't think you can have enough poinsettia dies, so I have designed a lot of them over the years! This is the 30093 Poinsettia Blooms and it will be one of your favorites. I cut the 3 sets of leaves out of cream colored cardstock and gently sponged the middle with Distress Oxide in in Worn Lipstick. After layering these together and carefully bending the leaves, I added some drizzles of clear glitter glue.

I created a base of greenery using the Poppystamps 1862 Wispy Pine Needles and 1868 Small Wispy Pine Needles. These are super versatile – you can stack them like I did here for a pop of color or create a terrific border. The needles are very finely detailed.

The 99847 May Your Days die will fill your whole card, so we decided to use white glitter cardstock to make this saying really shine. The design is really bold and doesn't need much else – but you could hang some little ornaments on the lettering or add some perched birds!

This one was all about the background! The 99797 Reindeer Window cuts out a large opening to reveal the Reindeer silhouette, so we filled it with lots of color. I used Distress Oxide in Worn Lipstick, Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo to create a blended background of ink. After blending, I spritzed with a bleach and water solution (3 cups of water and 1 tablsepoon of bleach) to create some dramatic white splatters.

Finally, I embossed some designs from the CL5187 Christmas Botanicals Clear Stamp Set and colored them in with a Wink of Stella pen. The result is so eye catching!

Finally, my favorite card uses the 1888 Peaceful Dove Collage – flying onto the 1852 Holly Twig. The background is Distress Oxide ink – using Broken China, Peeled Paint, Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo. I tried to get the "glow" of the ink to make a little halo around the dove's head and I really like how it turned out – it's amazing what color can do!

I hope you like the card ideas – have fun trying out your own versions! There are many more designs in the 2017 Memory Box Holiday collection and the 2017 Poppystamps Holiday collection – take a look and get inspired!

  288. These are the most stunning, eye-catching designs. With all that is going on in the world right now my favorite card is the dove; what color can do is an understatement.

  289. So many great cards! My favorite is the one with all the circles, such a cool and graphic modern design!

  290. Oh my goodness! So many beautiful die, stamps and creations! It’s a very difficult choice! If I had to pick one it would be Blessed Christmas Wishes. Thank you for offering this fantastic giveaway!

  291. They are all just lovely!! Going to be a great season! My favorite is the dove and Holly twig

  292. I live in a small town in the Texas near Austin but further northwest. My craft room is in the back of the house and this is where I have a large window view to the outside. I see deer every morning, afternoon and evening. Some times there are 20 deer resting in the fields behind our house. It is a peaceful, natural scene. The fawn are by far my favorite of the bunch so I have to say that the “1886 Tiny Fawns”.
    When I first starting making cards as a hobby I bought only Memory Box and Poppy stamps. More recently, I have been stamping a lot more, but after this weekend’s craft trade show of which I was a participant, I will again start buying more dies. They make beautiful cards, and you cannot surpass the 3-D wow effect. I love all the Memory Box and Poppystamp dies.

  293. Tough one! I love so much of your collections as is proven by my wishlist LOL
    It is kind of tie between Poinsetta Oval and the Reindeer window…with the Reindeer just squeaking by.
    I agree the concentric circles would be very versatile.

  295. Love, Love,Love the pointsettia ovals card. The colors just make everything pop. I really like the tiny fawns too!!!

  296. The cards are all gorgeous. If I had to pick just one, I choose the snowflake on concentric rings. In addition to the design, I’m intrigued by the unusual holiday color combination.

  297. Hard to choose. But my favorite is the tiny fawns. It was between that and the pink poinsettia one

  298. All of the cards are so beautiful but I especially love the poinsettia with the pine needles. Like Dave said, he’s designed tons of poinsettia dies over the years but one can never have enough of them. This one is the most realistic one I’ve ever seen and it is a perfect size for a card. I can make a lot of CAS cards with these dies.

  299. My favorite was the dove because it could be used for more than just Christmas
    This was a great collection of cards! The music in the video was very good
    also, I could listen to that for a while too.

  302. All the samples are beautiful Dave. My favorite is the one made with the Peace Dove Collection.
    Not only is the die lovely, but your use of Distress Oxide inks is brilliant.

  305. Hello
    The pink ring die set card would prove to bring lots of creativity. Lovely design’s by the DT.

  308. All are beautiful – I like the Polar Bear layout very much – TFS and opportunity to be a winner – yeah that would be a blessings – have a lovely week

  309. I like May your Days Be Merry and Bright because of it’s simplicity and the ease of making the 75 cards that I typically do. They’re all lovely ideas though!!

  312. You are right – one cannot have enough poinsettia dies. My favourite is Poinsettia Blooms, I love the construction of this card.

  313. Hard to choose as there were several I liked. But my favorite was the reindeer cut out window. I love the distressed background. Merry Christmas!!!

  314. They’re all amazing, but my favorite would be the card designed using the Poinsettia Blooms.

  319. Can’t pick just one. Each one is absolutely beautiful! Wonderful inspiration. Need to decide what to pick for this year’s card(s).

  321. While all cards are beautifully done, the clean and simple look of the poinsettia is my favorite! Just beautiful. 🙂 I’d like to win that one.

  322. I love all of these, but especially the peaceful dove. The world needs more peacefulness.

  326. I think my favorite project is the one with the Tiny Fauns. Really cute, but so are the rest. I would really like to win the dies used on this project. Thanks for the chance to win.

  331. I love the concentric circles and the do you believe best, although the candle is a close second.

  332. It’s always hard to choose as Memory Box is one of my favorite companies. This round, I’m leaning toward the dove and the poinsettia with pine needles.

  333. Barbara Mitchel
    What a beautiful collection. Everyone is a winner, but I choose the candle centerpiece.

  334. I love the tiny deer with the trees and hills of snow with the snowflakes! I love trees and animals and I just love snow. My husband and I were married in December and will be celebrating 19 years this December! It would make the perfect Anniversary card for him, as well as Christmas cards for everyone!

  336. OMG! The cards were all beautiful. I love the pointsettia card. Very elegant. They all take the blue ribbon.

  337. Fawns, Snowmen and Polar Bears, OH MY!!!! How does one choose?? Gorgeous collections and stunning cards; of course, I want them all – LOL!! However, my first choice would be the versatility of 1863 Hillside Snowscape and 1867 Open Hillside. I can visualize many amazing cards using these dies along with nearly all of the other dies in these collections. Thank you for your inspiration and for the opportunity to win! Best of luck everyone!! 🙂

  339. My favorite is the “Tiny Fawns”. They invoke the spirit of a childhood Christmas. The delicate details of the whole card is magic.

  341. Pick just one favorite? Not fair. There were so many to choose from. But if I had to close one it would be the dove in flight. I also loved the stiched frames on these cards. Stitching without sewing? Love the look!!

  342. I loved all of them but my favorites are the candle centerpiece and the poinsettias. I use your dies all the time, they are one of my favorites.

  349. The dove is stunning. The use of the different dies and the way the card has been composed are both wonderfully done.

  350. Absolutely love the Merry Poinsettia card. All of the designs and details are extraordinary. Beautiful.

  351. I love the frame-with-image idea. My favorite of these dies is 1863 Snowscape because I can see it working as a festive element in many other seasons.

  353. I am new to cardmaking so all the cards are amazing to me. The pointsettia has to be my favorite, it is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

  355. I love all of them but my favorite has to be the one with the Poinsettia Blooms dies.Simply gorgeous!

  359. What a fantastic range. It is difficult to choose my fav as they are all good. I have chosen the reindeer window.

  360. I love the holiday candle but it’s so hard to decide which card is best…they’re all beautiful!

  361. It is hard to chose as the dies make beautiful cards but my favorite is the Deer Silhouette. I think it is the colorful background that emphasizes the majesty of the Deer,

  363. I love the little deer. They are so cute. It makes me think of all the children and their love of the season.

  364. The tiny fawns, then the dove. I loved the music that played during this video. It was all encompassing.

  367. I had to watch the video twice to decide, because each design has a wonderful specialness about it! The candle is my favorite and the video totally transported me ahead to the holiday season! Thank you!

  369. Love them all! My favorite are those tiny fawns….the spots on their backs made me smile….

  370. Very difficult task – to pick a favorite from all of your GORGEOUS cards. LOVE the 1863 Snowscape scene.

  371. All of the cards are great. My favourite is the two fawns. It reminds me of my dad’s place where the deer just love his plants!
    I would love to recreate this card for him. Thanks for the chance to win!

  372. I what a happy video with beautiful sound of Christmas. My favorite was the poinsettia card. All the layered details made for full and rich looking holiday card.

  374. As usual, I love the all, Dave. But, if I have to choose, the Poinsettia Blooms is the die and card that really speaks to me! Love it!

  376. My favorite is the Holiday Candle. The gold paper just sets it off to make a very elegant card. The Reindeer Window is
    also wonderful.

  377. I can’t decide between the fabulous dove or the sleek deer silhouette! They are all so lovely!

  380. They are all great! I especially like the large deer that is peeking around the window. I love the coloring in the background too.

  384. Beautiful samples, and fabulous new dies! I’m so in love with the Small Wispy Pine, the Holly Twig, the Stitched Circle Cabin, and the Open Hillside. Of course, they’re all awesome, but I couldn’t pick everything. Or, could I???

  385. 1888 Peaceful Dove Collage is my favorite. I can see so many uses for it irrespective of the season and it is unlike any other die I have.

  388. Being one who has a hard time making decisions, this one is REALLY hard.
    They’re all stunning. Since I have to choose only one, I think I’ll go with
    the 99849 Poinsettia Oval. Thank you for sharing your lovely creations.

  389. The bird collage was way ahead until I spied the Stag Deer. It was so different. I loved the choice of colors, the water drops and the heat embossing.

  390. My favorite is the Reindeer Window, would be perfect for my son-in-law’s special Christmas card.

  392. All of the cards are beautiful and make it hard to choose! But I love the Poinsettia Blooms and the Believe sentiment.

  393. Love the Poinsettia Blooms die. It’s my avert. I also like the snowman hear collage and the snowman love dies!

  399. I like so many of the cards but My favorite is the card made with the peaceful dove collage. It speaks to my heart!

  400. The deer together is beautiful and I think it would make a great card for anytime of the year, perhaps for an anniversary.

  401. The snowscape and open hillside is my favorite. The pine trees on the slope with the snowy sky behind them creates a very lovely and peaceful card!

  403. I love the poinsettia blooms card – pared down but very effective. Very hard to pick a favourite, though, as they are all so nice.

  404. So hard to choose when they are all so beautiful. I guess my heart says I like the stitched circle cabin card as it reminds me of our fishing cabin in northern Minnesota. So many options with each!

  407. I am very partial to poinsettias so I like the white card with the fir leaves and the poinsettia. Thanks for some great ideas.

  414. I have to say I loved the deer frame window #99797 and the #cl5187 Chriatmas Bontanicals. It makes up such a gorgeous card. Great tip on the water/bleach spritz.

  416. It’s a beautiful release. So many good ideas, it’s hard to pick a favorite. If I waited until the 6th, I could easily change my choice 3-4 times. Today, I would say the Snowscape with the Stitched Wrapped Rectangles. Congratulations on your new release!

  419. So hard to pick just ONE!
    The concentric circles/snowflake is fun and has a lot of potential. They are ALL so beautiful, and inspiring, as always…

  420. Wispy Pine Needles #1862 and Small Wispy Pine Needles #1868 have endless possibilities for Christmas and
    Outdoors/Camping, Roadtrip, Vacation cards and scrapbooking!

  423. So many beautiful cards to choose from. I love the dove with the holly branch, but my most favorite is the buck and doe with the tree. Gorgeous!

  424. My favorite is the Peaceful Dove and what the dove represents in our Christian faith. They are all beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

  425. Fabulous cards! It wasn’t easy to choose a favorite. The tiny fawns are so sweet, I chose this as my favorite.

  426. Wow….what a great collection! At first drawn to the Wispy Pine Needles in both sizes, but fell in love with the Reindeer Window!

  429. All the new dies are incredible. Couldn’t choose just one. The Poinsettia Blooms are my favorite but the Reindeer Window and Peaceful Dove Collage are absolutely beautiful.

  430. Peace Dove with Holly Twig is my favorite, I think or is it the snowman with hearts or Candle centerpiece and twigs. Just so hard to pick. Going to need to buy them all I guess.

  433. I love the tiny fawns and all the landscapes that fit the ovals. Thanks for the great project inspirations!

  434. I love all of the dies. But you really excelled in the making to the poinsettia dies. They are just gorgeous.

  437. If I can only pick one I’d choose the poinsettia with wispy pine boughs. They are all so beautiful!

  438. There are so many of them I love, but my favorite is the Peaceful Dove Collage. It is so beautiful. Love it.

  439. Really do like them all but would have to say the Candle card is a favorite of mine. They are all very good

  440. My favorite card is the poinsettia card. The gold really makes it elegant and I think it can be used in a lot of different ways.

  443. Though all are beautiful, to me the dove collage is exceptional. It is elegant, timeless and so appropriate during troubling times.

  444. Hi Dave, after perusing the video twice, I finally made a decision on my fave (this was like asking someone to choose their fave child! Seriously, this was HARD!) I love them all but the Poinsettia Blooms is just stunning. The veining in the petals is perfect and has such a realistic look, just superb. I don’t own such a die but I can honestly say this is the prettiest one I have seen. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win such a generous prize!

  445. Love Memory Box dies and I think you are right that you can’t have too many poinsettia dies so that card is my fave!

  446. Oh my, so many goodies! I think the Concentric Circles is my favorite because it’s so different from any Christmas card I’ve ever made.

  451. This is so hard to pick just 1! But if I have I have to, it would be the poinsettia blooms!

  453. Love the pretty pink poinsettia card, with all the greenery and the white embossing. Thanks for the inspiration… have a wonderful week… Megan

  454. I really like the peaceful dove card, they are all so beautiful it’s difficult to choose one.
    They are absolutely gorgeous…. keep up the great work.

  455. This beautiful tutorial inspires me to start my Christmas cards. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.

  458. Beautiful cards as always. I think my favourite is the card with the tiny fawns – they’re such a whimsical touch.

  462. I love this release! I would have to say the dove and holly twig is #1, followed closely by the reindeer silhouette.

  470. So very difficult to choose only one! They are all beautiful. My very favorite would have to be the Holiday Candle card.
    Thank you Dave for inspiring me with these gorgeous cards!

  471. The peaceful dove collage is my favorite card. It’s so beautiful, and peaceful at the same time. Love the holly berries on it!

  474. Peaceful Dove is my favorite. I have never been disappointed with any memory box or poppy stamp die I have purchased..and believe me I have a lot of them !

  475. Love them all but my favorite is the poinsettia oval, love it, love it. Thank you for sharing with us……

  476. My favorite die would be the Snowman Heart Collage. I always like to send some cards each year with a snowman on them and this would be something different.

  477. Soooooo Beautiful,soooooo hard to pick but my favorite one is poinsettia blooms it is stunning. I would have to pick special people to send to I just love it !
    Thank you for finding ma I love the site will visit often.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😜

  479. I LOVE the card that uses the “snowscape” and “open hillside” dies. So peaceful looking! Absolutely love it!

  480. That’s a tough selection to choose from…but since I love doves…😀 I finally decided on the peaceful dove! Love your dies!!

  481. It’s so hard to choose. They are all gorgeous. But I think my favorite one is the holly candle.

  483. It is so hard to choose, but my favorite is the 30093 Poinsettia Blooms because it is elegant and gorgeous!

  485. It’s so hard to choose one favorite, but I love the snowy winter scene with the sentiment “blessed Christmas wishes.” Thank you for all the wonderful inspiration!

  492. I think the new die “Open Hillside” has so much potential for creating wonderful scenes. It is my FAVORITE Sharon

  493. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Holiday Candle with the Holly leaves. Thank you for the inspiration.

  497. So many beautiful cards. Thank you for the wonderful video. Hard to pick a favorite but I think I like the pink, red and white snowman love with the rectangle layers background. Lovely yet simple enough that I might actually get my cards done by Christmas. Enjoying your new holiday collection.

  501. Oh so hard to pick just one but I would have to go with the tiny polar bear but the deer are a very close second! Thanks for a chance to win these amazing dies. The crafting opportunities are endless with dies and these designs are so inspiring.
    Read. Craft. Repeat.
    Stef

  502. It’s so hard to say just one but I do love the poinsettia. That is one of my favorite dies to use during the holidays and the Poinsettia Blooms is yet another great die to add to my collection.

  503. For me it is a toss up of the two poinsettia cards, but I guess the softness of the poinsettia with the believe would have to be my pick.

  504. All of these cards are so beautiful and I always love your unique die designs. I want them all of course, but my favorite card is the one with the little polar bear scene….LOVE that!

  505. Ooooh the Concentric circles with the snowflake is sooooo pretty!!!
    Love that one! Hard to choose as there are so many gorgeous cards!
    Great inspiration! Thank you!

  506. Such beautiful cards made with the new dies. If I have to pick a favourite, it is the concentric rings topped with the celeste snowflake.

  507. It’s hard to pick a favorite. If I have to choose, the Poinsettia card is gorgeous and so versatile. This die could work for other projects through out the year, Spring and Fall. Beautiful new collection of dies. Memory Box has done it again!!

  508. All of these cards are gorgeous but if I have to pick a favorite one it would be the snow scene with fawns…so sweet!

  512. All of the cards and dies are beautiful but I especially like the snowy polar bear card. You could cut the bear in brown and have a grizzly!

  513. Dave, what love was put into these cards! You made it very difficult for me to finally come to a decision on which card made the most music for me…poinsettia blooms is it! I love your products!!
    Thank you!!!!!

  515. Wow, what to choose, what to choose. . . they are all beautiful and charming. I have a special place in my heart for that
    little house in the hills with the snow continuing to cover both the house and the ground. I have a feeling that’s the kind of
    winter we will have here in Pennsylvania this year. . .at least that’s what the Farmer’s Almanac predicts. That little house
    reminds me of the cabin in the woods where we experienced days of endless fun as children. Yep, that did it,
    I had to choose that one.

  518. Oh my gosh…I love ALL of them. If I had to make a choice, think I would choose the Tiny Fawns or maybe the Poinsettia Blooms. Too hard to decide, again..I LOVE THEM ALL!

  520. The poinsettia with the pine branches is breathtaking. Such an effective use of color on white. Beautiful.

  521. All the cards are very nice, but I’m really partial to the Dove and branch one, also loving the background.

  522. The concentric circles are awesome–you can use these for ANY time of the year, cards or scrapbooking!

  526. I love the card with the concentric circles…so versatile. It looks great for Christmas but in different colors it would be great for many occasions.

  530. I love the card with the fawns. They are so cute. Love the fact that you show beautiful card ideas with all the new dies. Thanks for sharing.

  531. I really really really like the “Tiny Fawns”. Beautiful Holiday Collection.
    Thanks for sharing it with us!

  533. So many unique cards that it’s hard to choose your favorite. I really like the Gentle Horizon and Gentle Valley Ovals with the tiny fawns. Those little guys really make the card!

  535. My favorite card was the 2nd one in the video: the pink poinsettia with gold accents and pine sprigs – beautiful! And I really enjoyed the music you added to the video, too. Thanks for making it so enjoyable, and for the chance to win some new dies!

  537. It has to be the peaceful dove landing on the holly twig. I absolutely love it
    It has to be the Peaceful Dove landing on the Holly Twig. I absolutely love it and will buy it if I don’t win it. It is so different from any Christmas card I have ever sent. Thank you so much for the chance to try to win it.

  538. I am so torn as to my favorite and finally narrowed it down to the Tiny Fawns. We’ve been watching two fawns on their own all summer. What a joy! Your dies are to “die for”.

  539. All beautiful but I have a poinsettia obsession, love all things poinsettia. Love the look of the gold and red.

  540. Would love to make Christmas cards with my granddaughter using your Poinsettia Blooms, and in PINK! (exactly as your creation) which is her favorite color in the whole world!! I can smell the pine scent already!

  541. So hard to choose a favorite–I love so many of them! But I’m going to say the Holiday Candle card (with the red candle)–so pretty!

  542. they are all so beautiful but I want to express the true beauty of Christmas with the Peaceful Dove – it reminds us all what Christmas is truly about.

  545. Pick one favorite–impossible. I love them all, but I’m always attracted to reindeer for Christmas, especially with pretty antlers.

  548. several are beautiful but think I am partial to the new style of having frame and part of picture connected. the reindeer, cabin, snow with trees, etc.

  552. This was difficult decision, because I love all the cards. I like that I can use many for the holiday as well as other times of the year.
    My favorite was the snowman and the holly with the pine

  555. Every die is beautiful but I absolutely love the style with the poinsettia. Its simplicity, clean lines and striking pink poinsettia are right up my alley.

  556. LOVE THE FAWNS THEY ARE SO DARN CUTE!!! ACTUALLY LOVE THEM ALL BUT THE FAWNS WON MY HEART. THANK YOU

  559. I am torn between the Reindeer Window and the card with the Snow scape and Open hillside. Both are beautiful. I love both.
