In this tutorial, I am working on my daughter's baby album 27 years after the fact. I was not a scrapbooker back then so I am slowly working through all our photos to get albums made. Most of my future videos will be project and process videos, as I explain at the beginning of this video.

We have some very exciting giveaways to tell you about.

HSN will be airing the release of the new Cricut Explore One on Monday, May 11 at 1pm and 9pm EST (times are subject to change) and we are giving away a Cricut Explore One and an annual subscription that works with Design Space and Craft Room in our Facebook group.

The best way to be sure of the times for the airings is to sign up for notifications here. Bonus! If you sign up for notifications and you are a new customer, you will receive a promo code for 15% off your next HSN purchase. What a great incentive if you are looking to purchase the Explore One on Monday.


So, on to the contest details!!!

One lucky person will win a Cricut Explore One and another person will win a one year subscription to the image library (which works with Design Space and Craft Room).

To enter the contest, you need to tag a friend who doesn't already have an Explore and then choose one of the texts below and post it anywhere on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or wherever else you can to spread the word. You can also tag someone who has an Explore -- we are not limiting the contest. Winners can be anywhere in the U.S. or Canada.

If you already have an Explore, you can win the one year subscription to the image library.


If you do not have an Explore, you can win the Explore One.


Your friends can in turn enter the contest as well by doing exactly the same thing.

The text you need to use is here:

If you already own an Explore

(insert your friend's name here) Watch HSN on May 11 to win #ilmcneedsubscription

If you do not own an Explore

(insert your friend's name here) Watch HSN on May 11 to win #ilmcneedexplore

Encourage your friends and family to join our group, I LUV my Cricut, to join in the fun. Tell them about this blog post so they can follow the instructions for entering.

You can even use the text in a comment on this blog post. Your friend won't be tagged like on Facebook, but your entry will count.

If you are trying to tag a friend and their name is not popping up, type the @ sign and then type their first name without entering a space. Once their name pops up, select their name with your mouse to tag them. Note that your friend will only be tagged if their name pops up and you select it and that is the only way they will know about the contest.

The winners will be selected at noon on Monday, May 11, 2015 and announced shortly afterwards, before the HSN Airing (note again that the times of the airings are subject to change at HSN's discretion).
