you'll want to download winzip or some similar software


I usually put all of the items in a folder and then (for winzip) just right click winzip>add to (choose from 1-3 depending on if you are adding to an existing file or not)
if you happen to have an alpha each in it's own png file- you'll want to put that in a folder within the main folder

also, be sure to name your main folder:
firstname_lastname_nameofkit
and name each element or paper:
firstname_lastname_nameofelement_colororwhatever

be sure to have a terms of use text and/or jpeg file

my papers are usually between 2-6 Meg each

If its to submit to SBB it needs to be all in one zip file - see here: http://scrapbook-bytes.com/cgi-scrip...icle_262.shtml

If you have XP you dont need to use a third party software like winzip - you can simply right click and choose Send To Compressed(zipped) folder. You can do this for each folder or do it for one file and drag and drop other files into it.
