Behind the Scenes: Banner Contest

We thought you would enjoy seeing some “Behind the Scene” photos from Provo Craft, as the design challenge begins. Thank you for all of your entries! We were truly in awe of your talent! Here’s just a sample of what we received for the Banner Challenge. All the entries were displayed for all to see. We had a hard time voting on our favorites! Provo Craft employees each had a chance to take a look and even we at the Cricut Blog got to put our votes in for a design challenge winner!
Thanks so much for participating and don’t forget to join the Cricut Expression 2 launch party on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/OfficialCricut) during the HSN airings to find out who won the challenge (and who will receive a new Cricut Expression 2!).
HSN airings on 9/26 at 12AM (which is really Sunday night, 9/25), 1AM, 4AM, 8AM, 11AM, 12PM, 5PM, 9PM and 10PM EST. Launch party begins at 9:00PM EST Sunday night (9/25) – we’ll be featuring star bloggers, announcing the E2 Design Challenge winners, answering questions about the E2, sharing projects and tutorial videos, and of course we’ll have giveaways (maybe something special for those that stay up with us during the wee hours). We hope you’ll join us!























Wowsers! Just from the ones we can see in the pictures, this was not going to be an easy task.
wow – this is going to be a tough one to judge.

Wow! All those beautiful banners, choosing a winner is going to be a HARD task to do!
Have fun judging, these banners look terrific!!! Looking forward to the show on HSN.
Will the upgrade enhancements to the E2 be available to existing E2′s? Will we just need to do a sync like on the Gypsy to fix current problems?
Yay! I saw one of mine! At least I know that they made it in time now! The post office never updated the delivery confirmation, so I’ve been wondering for days if my banners made it!
I see my banner!! It is in the last two photos–in the second to last photo, it is at the bottom right and you can only see part of it. In the last photo, it is the third one up from the bottom–it is done in purples & pink tones. So exciting to see it! I LOVE how it came out–I hope they did too lol
Love the pictures! You all did an amazing job on creating your banners!!! Good luck to those of you who participated in this contest!
Good luck to all the ladies who sent in a banner
very nice.and thanks too for all the info and giveaways..
