Default SU "Natural" Albums

Okay, so these are ugly to say the least (sorry, personal opinion there). They are plain and an ugly color but it got opened so I can't return it. Has anyone ever tried stamping on these or dying them or even brayering them to make them a livable color? Just wondering since I spent $20 on the thing.

Kymber,
I used the petal point chalk inks and the paint prints stamp set and I now love mynatural album, it really made a difference.

Very pretty. Does anyone think it could be done with craft ink? I don't have the chalks yet and won't consider them until the new catalog comes out.

I stamped mine too. It turned out gorgeous (sorry no pic). I used craft ink because it was on fabric and I think I might have lightly heat set it. I used the petal prints and script background stamps. Colors: eggplant envy, Old Olive, Ruby Red, More Mustard - very rich looking.

This album goes with me to all my workshops and has info in it that my customers look at - it doesn't seem dirty to me. I was worried about it too but, so far so good.

I am gonna say Yes do them with craft ink and heat set, I am thinking it would be the same results as chalk ink. Good Luck
