Two Cards; Two Challenges

I created cards yesterday for two challenges, the first for Retro Sketches . . .

 And here is my card . . .

 Old scraps from my table, and new dies and stamps from Lil' Inkers! 

And for card #2, a photo inspiration from Paper Smooches. 

This one scared me a bit, and then I saw a celebratory city scene in my head. 

Mmmm . . . I smell paper and ink!  Yum.
