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 :)

Ahoy, Matey!

Sunny and Bright!

I don't know about you guys, but I am absolutely eating UP the sunshine! The snow is melting! Woo hoo! I can't wait for Spring and Summer! Not to mention, I've been battling being sick with a nasty cold - so it's great to see the sun shining through the windows while I'm hulled up in my house :) Being sick has also given me some spare "resting" time to make a few new backgrounds. Enjoy these sunny and bright ones! And here's to WARMTH!

(All elements for these bright and cheery -YAY - backgrounds are courtesy of Purple Tulip Designs)

Come On Down!


One of the craziest and most EXCITING experiences of my husband and my's life will be airing tomorrow morning! We will be "starring" (ha ha!) in THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!

Be sure to check it out! This Friday, the 13th (oo, scary) at 9am on CBS.

So in honor of this occasion, I created a little (okay, it's really cheesy) background for my own personal blog and am including it here too! :)

Think Spring

Okay, I know I'm getting ahead of myself here. But lately I've been thinking SPRING! I can't wait for the warmer weather to come - the blossoming trees, the new life.

I also know I should be posting more Valentine's Day backgrounds right now. But I think I did enough of those last month. So I'm on to new things again! (Maybe I'll get a couple more lovey dovey themes up in a couple of days. That was a maybe.)

But for now, think SPRING with these!

Newbie Doobie Doos

Here's just a random bunch of backgrounds that I created this morning. No rhyme or reason to them. What can I say? I guess I just like creating things ... (and I've been on a random kick lately)
