Wow! I can't believe September is almost over!  Finally got to the Tim Holtz September tag and it came out pretty good if I do say so myself. Nothing too trying this time like those roses in August (but I sure love the way they finally turned out!). Technique involved is more about layering and adding dimension with different texture effects as well as some fun hardware. 
Once again I did not have all the same materials as pictured and used in Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2012.  That's ok...mine has its own personality....as many do!  
Here is my September tag!

 My tag is not just a September tag....but the phrase I stamped out makes me feel inspired....'To be all that is Possible!'   And because I had a birthday in the beginning of September....argh...gettin' older....but I still feel that we can all still strive  'To be all that is Possible'!
 I had fun adding just a partial part of a stamp phrase to the typewriter...and I really like the inspiring saying!
I also picked out print from a dictionary that had the word 'journey' , which we all know creative Tim and that smiling fun Mario use this word pretty often.  Love it!
I loved putting a compass in the mix, especially sinse I used the work 'journey' in the page text below the typewriter. I especially had fun adding some tattered screen under the number '5' and also used a strip for the tag tie mixed with scraggly yarn piece. 

See the word 'journey'?  Couldn't help but at least underline it!
