After you unzip...

[craftytam]

I create a folder for the kit (or collection) and then unzip everything into it. I keep alphas in their own folders (within the kit folder).

I rename everything (okay, maybe I'm a bit ocd with this!). So, everything plant based because "foliage" accordions, or rosettes become "flowers", etc.

Then in a renaming software, I change the names so that the elements are together at the top and the papers are together at the bottom.
designername_kitname__element
designername_kitname_paper

If it's a collab, I add the designer's initials at the end:
ssd_kitname__element_designerinitials
ssd_kitname_paper_designerinitials

This makes it so much easier for me when I scrap! It also makes it easier to find elements when I'm mixing kits.

Tammy, this is brilliant! I can see how adding this to my own workflow would be a big bonus in scrapping productivity. Can you tell me what renaming software you're using?

Thanks, Angie! It really does help me because I don't have to search through the kit, everything is where I need it.
The renaming software I use is "Bulk Rename Utility".
