About Cristi's Creations

I am a thirtysomething wife and work at home mom of an enthusiastic, wonderful two year old son and a beautiful baby boy. You could also say I'm a bit of a "creative junkie." My biggest creative outlet is that of photographer. However, I am also a blog nut. After months of searching the web, trying to find cute and unique blog backgrounds (and ones that wouldn't erase any of my sidebar elements), I finally figured out how to create them myself. I wanted to "share the love." So, during the Christmas season, I decided to make this little website so that my friends and family could also use the backgrounds that I had made. It's sort of just spread from there. I love doing it! (It's always nice to have another creative outlet and way to give service.) It's totally free - no strings attached. Seriously! If you do decide to use any of them, I'd love for you to comment about what you think! (Commenting helps me know what the general public prefers and which directions to take my future creations.) Thanks! Loves! Cristi :)

Back to Valentine's Day

It was nice to have a little break, but as promised, I'll now get back to posting more Valentine's themed backgrounds. Thanks to Summertime Designs, Shabby Princess and Designer Digitals for these papers. This set is probably my favorite Valentine's set so far. Enjoy!

Loves,
Cristi :)

"Courage"

Summer (summertimedesigns) has made some more amazing background papers. She calls this kit "Courage" - dedicated to the men and women serving in the armed forces. I think this set is great if you've got a loved one who is currently serving or who has served in the military. But they're also nice colors for absolutely anyone - military or not. I thought I'd try a few backgrounds out of them. What do you think?

Gimme a Break (From Valentine's Day) :)

Oooh! I had so much fun taking a "reprieve" from Valentine's backgrounds that I decided to add a few more! (This is making me crave spring!)

A Little Break from Valentine's Backgrounds

I'm not sure about you guys, but I've been posting so many Valentine's backgrounds lately, that I feel like I need a little break. One can only handle so much pink, hearts and flurf! :) I was going to save some of these for Spring, but let's face it - we could all probably use a little spring "pick me up" in the midst of a long winter, right?!

Countdown to Valentine's Day - "My Valentine"

I realized, as I was uploading my "Countdown to Valentine's Day" series yesterday that every Valentine's background I've done so far has pink on it. So I made some last night that are less pink (they're more red and tan), but still Valentinesy :)

Countdown to Valentine's Day - "Love is in the air"

This series is really similar. Just a couple of minor changes in each design.
