Raspberry Road Designs is a digital scrapbooking design studio that has been creating papers, elements, quick pages, alphas, word art and full collections since 2007. Every product is made to help you turn everyday photos into pages you will want to keep: soft vintage colors, shabby and rustic textures, country charm and seasonal themes you can mix and match from one collection to the next.
All of our products are digital downloads. Nothing is shipped to you – you download the files and use them in your favorite photo editing program, or print them at home and scrap the traditional way. Our papers are created at 300 dpi, so they look crisp on screen and print cleanly at full 12 x 12 inch size.
The Raspberry Road Shoppe is organized the way most scrappers build a page: start with a background, layer elements on top, add a title and finish with journaling. Here is how the main categories fit together.
Digital scrapbook papers are the foundation of every layout. You will find solids, patterns, textured cardstock, stacked and decorated papers that coordinate with each collection, so finding a matching background is easy.
Digital scrapbook elements are the embellishments: flowers, ribbons, buttons, tags, frames, doodles and more, supplied as separate pieces you can move, resize and shadow. If you want a head start, our clusters are groups of elements that are already arranged and ready to tuck behind a photo.
Quick pages are finished layouts with open photo spots. Drop in your pictures, add a little journaling and the page is done – perfect for busy weeks, photo books and new scrappers.
Digital alphas are complete letter and number sets for titles that match your kit, and word art adds ready-made titles, quotes and sentiments when you are stuck for words.
Mini kits bundle a smaller set of papers and elements around a single theme. The Holidays category gathers Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Valentine's Day and other seasonal designs in one place, and the Hybrid and Printables categories are made for projects you print, cut and assemble by hand.
New to Raspberry Road? Start with the free digital scrapbooking downloads and the budget-friendly Dollar Store. Designers who build their own products will find commercial use resources and brushes and stamps, each with its own terms of use.
Prefer paper and glue? Print the papers and elements on good quality paper and cut them out – this is called hybrid scrapbooking, and it works beautifully for cards, tags, mini albums and party decorations.
Not sure where to start? The Creative Team blog shows our kits in action, with layouts from team members, new release previews, challenges and freebie announcements. Browse the Gallery for more layouts, then stop by the forum to say hello and share your own pages. When you post a layout made with our products in an online gallery, please credit Raspberry Road Designs, as explained in our terms of use.
Raspberry Road is named after a little country road where wild raspberries grew along the fence rows. Picking those berries with family – and never managing to carry any home – is one of the memories that inspired the studio. That love of simple, sweet, handmade moments is still at the heart of every collection. You can read the full story on the About Raspberry Road page.
Digital scrapbooking is scrapbooking on a computer or tablet. Instead of paper, scissors and glue you use digital papers, elements and alphas, arranging them in layers in a photo editing program to build a page around your photos.
You need a program that works with layers and transparent PNG files. Photoshop Elements and Photoshop are popular choices, and free editors such as GIMP work well too. Quick pages are the easiest place to start because the design is already done.
Yes. The papers are made at 300 dpi, which is the usual resolution for good quality prints, so you can print finished pages at home, at a photo lab or in a photo book.
No. All Raspberry Road Designs products are digital downloads. Nothing is mailed, so there is no shipping to wait for.
