do you keep the folders all separate, like they come, or do you mix it all up like one big kit? The organization of this massive Attitude of Gratitude is making me feel a little discombobulated, so I'm wondering what other people do.
Anytime I have any kit, collab or otherwise, I have a main folder for papers, a subfolder with elements, and a subfolder with alphas. I prefer single sheet alphas so I don't have to have two subfolders but I am way too lazy to make the individual alphas into one single sheet so I deal.
I do that with add-ons, too, like the Christmas add-on Wendy had for her Date Night kit. I would put the add-on papers in the regular paper folder and the add-on elements in the elements folder.
I have done kits that way for as far back as I can remember.
If they are two- or three-person collabs, I 'file' them under either the person I CT for or the first person alphabetically by first name. If it is a store collab, I put it in my Store Collabs folder.
I combine them all like one kit, except I take out the templates and put them in my template folder. I was super excited to see the 'all' preview that was sent out earlier in the week so I could have a 'preview' for my folder

This is exactly what I do. Then I sort the folder by image type and usually that puts it into kind of an order within the folder, ie papers together, elements together, etc.
I make a folder for papers, ellies, cards, alpha, templates, and then sort it out. The designers are kind enough to label them with their initials for us so I don't worry about forgetting who did what part, and just focus on sorting so it's easy to see everything the collection has to offer.
