I think your pages are great. A couple things jump out. Your photos could use a little lightening and a little boost. Try the Pioneer Woman's actions - slight lighten (you can change the opacity) and boost (I usually take it down in opacity to 50-60%) also, avoid the flash if you can or buy a lightscoop or external flash to bounce the light.
Are you sharpening your layouts for the web? I notice on the older layouts that I didn't sharpen I lost a lot of the shadow detail. I believe there is a tutorial in the tutorial section about this.
It takes forever to get noticed don't get upset - your layouts are lovely! just keep trying.
