Welcome to Whimsy Home Designs™

Whimsy Home Designs™, a division of Leatherwood Publishing, produces unique note cards and other products designed by award-winning artist N.R. Leasman. Using photographs of actual home sites, Leasman creates the original art and note card reproductions in the Whimsy style. Influenced by the castles of Germany and the thatched roofs of the Cotswolds, Leasman is inspired by the charm of the Minnesota countryside and its rural villages. The artist captures the romantic essence of every scene. She can personally design original art, note cards, post cards, stationery, bookplates, stickers, and bookmarks from pictures you supply of your home, farm, church, or anything else you can think of. See the photo gallery for samples of Whimsy Home Designs™ note card sets.

Future heirlooms representing a family home, farm, church, or historic building executed in whimsical detail with ink and watercolor. All artwork is created on acid free paper in size 8 1/2"x11", and matted and shrink wrapped to 11"x14".

Nearly any photo can be used as a reference to create personalized Christmas cards. Whimsical winter scenes can be added to any photograph or scene by adding snow, Christmas trees, garland, or any other holiday features.
