How to scrap an imperfect photo?

I love playing with colour, and I love the April mood board at Scrapping Clearly:

I took inspiration from the bright colour palette, and I included the crocheted embellishments for dimension and texture as shown in the image.  {For reference - the background paper is pale pink - that's not a colour cast.}

Materials

Fancy Pants Trend Setter - Style Sheet solid paper
My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing - Tangerine - Wonderful - Dandy patterned paper
DCWV Watercolour patterned papers
Dear Lizzy Springhouse - Spring crocheted flowers
Buttons from my habby stash
Kaisercraft Vines cutting dies
Echo Park Sweet Summertime alphabet stickers
Echo Park Sweet Summertime element stickers
Carl Mini Daisy punch
Kaisercraft Rhinestones - Yellow Deep gems

The photo has been sitting in the pile for years.  It's a bit blurry and the light balance is way off - too exposed on one side, too much shadow everywhere.  Photoshop magic can't fix everything! But it's still a special memory, and it's now got a place in the Mt Warning trip album.

And a little close up of the lovely crocheted flowers:
