Layering

Thank you all for your advice! I was worried the layer styles would be difficult to add, but I bit the bullet and tryed it out.
I got the Realistic Drop Shadows by Krista and they are so easy to use!!
Here is a pic of my original layout and the new one with revisions:

Looks great. Those shadow styles really added a little more depth to the page. I use krista's shadows all the time. They really are fantastic and easy to add. You can also adjust the opacity of the shadow and that helps create some depth too. The higher off the page an element etc... Would sit then the lighter the shadow might be. Or papers, stickers, etc... That sits close to the bottom may have a darker shadow. Another thing I do with mine a lot of times is change the blend mode to linear burn but I am using CS6 and not familiar if you can adjust that part in PSE. You are really doing great though.
