Frozen Inspired Valentine's Decoration

We have a lot coming up in terms of birthdays this month in our family. The primary one being Wynn's 5th birthday. I am working on decorations for her party, and am attempting to keep it to a $125 budget. The big chunk of that budget will be going to food. We are only having about twelve guests (three being one or under), and so I think we will be able to stick to the budget. However, I did not want to spend any additional money on a Valentine's mantel. I decided I would somehow incorporate Winter, Valentine's Day, and Frozen all into one mantel. I will share the mantel later this week, but I am sharing the main focal point of it today.

I took a piece of foam board I already had in my basement.  I picked out two colors of paint from my container, and figure they both are good representation of the Elsa colors.  

I taped off the foam board just by eyeing it up. I did not really have the time for exact measurements. I used painters tape, and I made sure I pulled it off the foam board before it dried completely. It came off pretty easily.  I used some scrapbook paper to cut out a heart, and then I taped it in the center. That way I would end up with a pretty good size heart in the middle.
 I was drawing this idea on paper while watching Blue Bloods last Friday. I am am sure glad I was able to come up with something that is not exactly for one holiday or occassion in particular. It will save me from having to change it, and plus I'm excited to do something for Valentine's Day that is not exactly just red and pink.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

  4. Very cute and a good idea to make it do double-duty! I have still not seen Frozen. Jacob only wants to watch super-hero stuff, which I'm guessing you'll be doing plenty of in the future! LOL! Looking forward to seeing this party....you throw the best ones!
