DIY ombre Neon word

I am excited to  be sharing a brand new DIY project I created recently using the Heidi Swapp Neon Love word and some American Crafts Moxy glitter! It was such a quick and easy project and I simply love how it turned out! With Ombre still being  a hot trend I couldn't help but use three different glitter colours to add a beautiful pop of colour to my neon word.

I adore how the three colours of glitter blends so nicely and the glitter adds some gorgeous shimmer and shine!

Let me share how easy it was to create my Glittery Neon word.

First I grabbed my Neon word, Moxy glitter, paint to coordinate with the glitter colour, Heidi Swapp Marquee Love glue, and a paint brush.

I began by painting a layer of aqua paint on the bottom third of my Neon word and allowed it to dry.

Next I grabbed three colours of glitter from the American Crafts Moxy pack - white, aqua and peacock!

I then added the white glitter to the top 2 thirds of the word.

Next I took the aqua glitter and added it to a small section of the bottom.

and then I added the peacock glitter to complete!

Once the glitter was dry I added the Neon wire into the groove and My Ombre neon word was complete!

I have my word sitting on my dressing table in our bedroom. I like to turn on the neon at night for a pretty effect!

A little self care in my Heidi Swapp Memory Planner!

I love a fresh new year in my Heidi Swapp Memory Planner.
It's always exciting opening up my planner at January knowing another year of my family's memories are going to be recorded in my planner.

This year I am using the "Do your Thing" Classic Memory Planner. The hot pink cover is divine. I am so enthused I have already completed my first two weeks of 2019. 

Week 1 consisted of trips to the beach, the pool and movies. 

I started with those glorious Neon stickers for my 2019 and added my photos and journaling around the title. 

I added more photos and journaling to the second part of the week. The new Color Fresh sticker book is the perfect way to add big and small elements to my planner pages.

Week 2 I took a big step for me and changed my hair colour.  I have wanted to do this for a while and it is part of my commitment this year for a little self care! I wanted to make a big emphasis on this because it was such a big step for me so I added that gorgeous Minc foiled butterfly to my page- layering it over my photo. It certainly creates a big impact. 

I added pop dots under the wings to create lift and dimension. 

On the first page It seems my boys spent all their days in the pool. Perfect Summer pool weather. I added some of the clear and paper stickers from the sticker book for easy embellishments. 

My go to photo size is created in my photo printer software. I am able to fit 4 photos onto a 4x6 photo paper. I trim them and they fit perfectly in each section of each day.

I added that cute Fresh Start acrylic piece from the Color Fresh Ephemera packet. I simply peeled off the clear backing, punched a hole and slipped it into one of the rings!

I added my journaling on one of the Journal Studio Tags and it slips behind my photo for safe keeping!

2019 is going to be another year filled with fun memories and I can't wait to continue preserving it here on my Memory Planner!

The glass pen is so easy to use, you just choose your ink and dip the nib of the pen into the ink.

The glass pen is so easy to use...I was nervous at first but after the first try it was a breeze.

Each kit comes with three different coordinating inks, and when you shake them you can see the shimmer and shine!
