"He Is Risen" Banner


I am so EXCITED to share with you my latest project!  I finished it up last night and I'm just so pleased with how it turned out.  
I have seen many "spring" banners and have seen a few "He Is Risen" banners.  Considering some of my technical limits...and size restraits...I printed out the letters onto burlap.  You can find that tutorial here.  I wanted to sew them onto script of some sort.  
 
I have this Young People's Hymnal, and the pages were the perfect size, so I decided to sacrifice 11 of it's pages.  I know...it's cool...1900!
So I chose carefully, and found hymns that I knew and saved the ones I remember singing at Easter for the plain pages that act as spaces.
Using black thread, I sewed the burlap to the pages.  Then I attached the pages to cardstock.  I used my handy dandy glue gun to attach the jute...just one dot on the back of the cardstock.  

The pages were already perfectly aged!  I love the way it turned out!!
Here are a few more pics...

    I love it! The hymnal matches the message...and it all comes together so beautifully with the burlap and your mantle. Thank you so much for linking this up! I truly appreciate your participation in "Cowgirl Up!" and I hope you'll join us again next week.

    Dear Janis; I just had to let you know how your idea has blessed me. I wanted to do something crafty for my sis's in Christ so I had a craft party with your "he is risen" craft as the feature. Needless to say, it was a total hit with even the non-crafters! I would have taken pics if i had known how much fun we'd have...next year I will. Thank you for sharing Christ, and I can't wait to come back and support what you are doing many, many times.
