FCUK Karma

I'm not a big swearer but when i saw this template and kit from Minxy and Kirstin they just go together and i had to tut it lol. 

The Scrapkit is part of a collab with Kristin, Justine and Mel and the colours are so vibrant it just tells you to make a tag. 

I wrote this on the 8th Feb 2013 and is all my own idea, any resemblance to another tutorial is purely coincidental and not intended.
