This is a pep talk. We’ve come a long way together, haven’t we? If you have your pages completed and ready to proceed, pat yourself on the back for a job well done! Now, take that same hand and grab yourself by the earlobe. Next make a frowny face and say to yourself, “Self, let it lie.”

This is a concept I call “unseeing”. Unseeing is essential to any scrapbook page or book that is about to be printed. Unseeing is where you take a day or two away from your project. Don’t think about it. Don’t look at it. Don’t touch it. Unseeing is hands-off, and the longer you can manage the better.

Here’s the problem. After staring at your photo book pages for any length of time, you will begin to miss important things, like misspelling of words and missing stroke outlines. If you’ve trusted me this far with your photo book, trust me with this too. In the next video, we’ll be going over the final pre-print checklist for your album.

Take my advice and wait, at the very least, 24 hours before moving on to the next video. There’s nothing worse than paying big money for a beautiful photo album only to have a big glaring error staring right at you every time you pull it out to show the neighbors. You’ll thank me later. See you in a couple days!
