Curling - as in rock, broom, ice

[Firstoscartgrouch]

I'm going to the men's worlds curling championships, and I'm having no luck finding anything that would work for digital kits. Any suggestions?

This includes curling And how fun!! Enjoy!!

I'm glad @IntenseMagic Jan found that pack! How perfect! And depending on the team you're supporting, I bet you have papers in those colors to make your page. Have fun!

 

[Firstoscartgrouch]

Thank you supporting Canada all the way, host team always has it best right?

OMG... @Firstoscartgrouch CONGRATS!!!! Is this your first time? Yes, that kit is my ultimate favorite for Winter Sports! We have been watching a few Curling Competitions lately, it's such a strategic game!!!! GOOD LUCK!

Was it fun? i would go with anything wintery and maybe canadian??
the flair of a jersey/sports shirt in this looks potentially universal to a not so sporty person like me...

Not curling, but you totally could use the flag motifs in support of your team!! How'd they do?

 

[Celeste]

love these suggestions!

 

[Dalis]

I don't think I have ever seen that one from Paula! I love it!

 

[tinkerbell1112]

cool! I have some curling pictures from watching my bro & sis in law practice (and I even got out on the ice). I'll have to pick something up to use on my pages!!!

I hope you have(had?) fun!!

 

[Sokee]

so much fun!!! We always watch it when we can.... on tv....

 

[Firstoscartgrouch]

We go to the bronze medal game Sunday afternoon, so excited. Team Canada is on fire, they are so hot right now.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

I curled in my youth, I've always watched it, knew Kevin Martin years ago when he was lead skip winning everything. But this is my first worlds.

I do not do sports, but as a Canadian, I have a general concept of what curling is. Beyond the Canadian themed stuff, you could go with an icy theme.
I love the sort of icy feeling of these papers, and have been using them all winter. They come in plain kraft and colours. (Winter MIGHT be over now, here in Ottawa)

I think this clear alpha would look very frozen layered over top:

@Juliestcyr OR at least, you hope winter is over, right?
I love those papers for winter pages! They are lovely.

I love the icy ness of these.

What can I expect in Ottawa by the May long weekend? In Alberta I'd expect a massive snow dump, but in Ottawa? My daughter is attending a Rick Hansen Youth Leadership event at Carleton University. As a minor I'm attending as a chaperone. Expenses paid except for meals for me and anything I do. We get a private tour of the Governor Generals Rideau Residence, Byward Market and a behind the scenes tour of the museum across in Hull Quebec. I'll be by myself for most of the time, free to do whatever. What do you suggest? I need to grab a geocache while there, hit parliament grounds, my daughter wants to tour the Supreme Court.

Woohoo! May long weekend should be shorts and t-shirts weather, but I'd have jeans and a light jacket just in case. The GG's house is nice, but in my opinion the grounds are even nicer. Between a tour of the Supreme Court and Parliament Buildings, I'd tour Parliament. Supreme Court can be interesting if you are going to a hearing, I don't find the building itself that exciting. There are a number of geocaches downtown, including at least one on Parliament Hill itself! I would take a nice walk along the canal. You might even get to see the locks in action. You will be here for the tail end of the Tulip Festival. I'd be surprised if there are still tulips that late in May, but on the Sunday night there will be fireworks, downtown. Depending on what you are into, there is fancy shopping in the Rideau Centre, more laid back street shopping in the Glebe (near Carleton). Landsdowne is walking distance from Carleton and has lots to see and do (including some tulip festival stuff). Also, I'd highly recommend the National Gallery (near Byward Market and Parliament Hill). If you are into history, there is also a nice little museum - called the Bytown along the canal next to the Chateau Laurier. Send me a PM if you have more specific questions, or would like a personal tour guide!

Thank you, I may take you up on that. My daughter wants to do the Supreme Court tour, she shall do it, I will tour the parliament and stuff most likely on my own.
Hogs back falls look interesting. Are they?

 

[Juliestcyr]

@Firstoscartgrouch They are pretty! And, I guess fairly close to Carleton.

Update: Canada is going for gold, secured their spot last night.


We are attending the Bronze Medal game as will either USA, Switzerland or Sweden. I'm hoping to see Sweden, love their skip.
