Want to earn yourself a free $5 gift certificate ?
Create a tutorial using any of my kits for the chance to win a $5 gift certificate for my store here
All applicants will have their names put into a box and my children will pick out the winner.
In my opinion this makes it fair on everyone who enters.

Competition closes on 6th July. Winner will be announced on 7th  July.
Please send all competition tutorial links to scrappingbits@googlemail.com with 'BNB TUT CONTEST' in the subject line.
