First things first. The daily devotional:
God's Signature
Read: Genesis 1:27-31
Displayed on the wall of my friends' lake house is a collection of pictures. Each one of the photos is of a sunset, taken from their deck during various seasons. While each is strikingly beautiful - no two are identical. When I look at them, it reminds me of what another friend once called a sunset - "God's beautiful signature at the end of a day."
God writes His signature on each sunset and on each of His unique children as well, I never grow tired of discovering how every person I meet is so delightfully different. God is infinitely creative, and the variety in our personalities, senses of humor, abilities, and preferences in music and sports are all handcrafted by Him.
In the body of Christ, we see how a diversity of spiritual gifts still have a common bond and can work together for God's purposes to bring Him glory. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-6, we read, "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all."
God's signature that is so evident in nature is also present in His people. Let's celebrate the differences that make each of His children unique. Cindy Hess Kasper

Make you own white shimmer paper: Frost White Shimmer Paint, pg 195 IB&C 116854
- Cut Bashful Blue cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4". Cut out snowflake design along outside edge with the Northern Frost decorative strip die and the Big Shot.
- Make your own shimmer paper: Fill a 2 oz spray bottle about 2/3 full with rubbing alcohol (find these bottles in the travel section at any department store such as W or T). Add 10-12 drops of Frost White Shimmer Paint. Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/8" and another scrap piece to puch out labels. Spray twice with the Frost White mixture; allowing it to air dry or help it along with a heat tool between applications. Shake bottle often to keep paint suspended in alcohol. Pretty neat! I wish the photos showed the shimmery sparkle.
- Emboss snowflakes in white or silver
- Stamp greeting in Night of Navy on Bashful Blue, punch with XL punch.
- Punch two more labels from homemade shimmer paper or brushed silver. Cut one in half long ways, cut one in half short ways. Adhere these to the Bashful Blue sentiment piece to create a larger mat.
- Pop this label up with dimensionals
- Adhere 5 1/2" x 4 1/8" shimmer paper or brushed silver inside card. Stamp sentiment with Night of Navy.

Hey what a cool idea that is! I'm with you, I like them both and would probably need to see it IRL to make a choice.
Hope all is well-see you soon-
