FTK - Dance Marathon 23

Well since it's a snowy Sunday here in the Midwest why not get some scrap therapy in right!  I am working on my daughters college album and came across the photos from dance marathon last year.  If your not sure what dance marathon is....well these college kids collect donations to give to The Children's Hospital at The University of Iowa.  It means a lot to those families who spend days, weeks, and months there.  The University Of Iowa students dance, stay awake and don't sit for 24 hours....yes 24 hours non stop!!  Last year they raised an amazing amount of money all FTK (for the kids)!  The exact total was $2,572,130.23  Crazy right.....but when these amazing young adults put their mind to something there is no stopping them!!

As a parent of one of these dancers....I of course stalked social media saving photos down, and watched the live stream with tears of pride!  I created this layout for Ariel to always remember one of the best things from her college years!

I love to use letter stickers on my layouts, however sometimes they are just not that sticky.  One way to make sure they don't fall off is to run them through my Xyron machines.  You can see in this photo below I ran them through my Xyron 1.5.  After running them through I just give them a little rub on the back of the adhesive strip and those bad boys are not coming off of the layout.  


Here is my finished layout.  Not only will she remember this night because she doing it all FTK, but she enjoyed some time with her Alpha Chi Omega sisters as well!



Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  You can see the supplies used to create this layout below.
