Dude, check Rowen rocking that skateboard! This is nice page (way better than my first attempt at a page. I'll post it in my scrapping blog in a bit). I couldn't tell here but did you remember drop shadows on the pictures? The only other thing I would add is some journalling. Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of the heartfelt, "I love you so much" stuff but you should but at least the "who, what, when, where, why" of the pictures. That way, if you show them to someone else or people of the future are looking at the pages, they know what is going on.
Generally, a good rule of thumb when journalling is that if there is a story that you need to tell to set the stage for the pictures, you should journal it. The only real exception to that rule is multi page layouts. Like I'll do 6 or 8 pages about a vacation so I won't journal how we went to Holiday World 8 different times but I do make sure to do the who and when on all pages. That way, if a page gets out of order, it can find it's way home again :)
Well I did a couple others first, but this is the only one I saved little- to upload so I'll do those later. and i think id just said something generic like Rowan learns to skateboard- aug 2008, but I must not have saved it- huh?
