Day 125:

I've been experimenting with actions since getting Photoshop Elements. Here's a tip--if you can't afford $80 for Elements 8 (which is $120 in Canada), you can do what I did and buy an older version of Elements on Ebay. It cost me $26, and maybe the newer versions are better, but as I have no frame of reference, Elements 6 suits me just fine.

For this photo, I used Coffeeshop's Butterscotch Vintage action, at 48% opacity. I still did my usual curve and contrast adjustments, and I lightened it quite a bit and lowered the saturation so that the action didn't overpower the photo.
