Supercharge your Scrapbooking with Actions

Are you ready to take your scrapbooking to a new level?

Actions are recorded commands used to generate an effect in Photoshop for re-application later. In other words, the action creator does the work for us and we benefit from the results with a simple click of the mouse.

Why would I want to use an action?

Actions make your layouts come together in a snap. It is quicker and easier to get your photos looking good, journalling on the page, elements shadowed and your pages scrapped

Do you want to get a cool TTV effect on your photos? Actions will give you the effect in a fraction of the time it would take to follow a tutorial on the effect.

Want a shortcut to scrapping a monthly roundup page? With Katie and Wendy’s actions set, your roundup will be almost instant!

Want to try a new clustering or paper layering effect? Wendyzine’s actions allow you to try something new, without the headaches and fiddling of doing it yourself.

Would you like a Shutterfly photobook delivered without bits of your layout being cut off? Wendy’s Shutterfly toolkit has saved my bacon many times!

Do you tend to just stick to kit scrapping due to the issues with keeping your credits straight? Well, Christy at SpeedScraps has a great tutorial for you. Part 1 and Part 2.

The best part about all this is that she's created a tool to track your supplies, called, oddly enough Supply Tracker, and is giving it away!

The tools Christy has make allow you to make your layers, and then it puts them all into a credits layers for you and in the File Info too! Awesome!

So why not head over to SpeedScraps and check it out!

Aren’t they hard to install?

Actions require you to close down Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and copy some files into a certain folder, but then they are available for you every time you open your software.

Wendyzine provides comprehensive installation instructions with all her actions, and has a team of testers making sure they all work on Mac and PC all the version listed in the action description.

What actions do you use?

Personally, I use Wendyzine's actions to prepare my layouts for printing, Anna Forrest's scripts to line up my alphas and SpeedScraps actions for saving previews.

Why not take a look?
