Sorting through a year's worth of photos intimidates me, so I do as much as possible by looking through my completed scrapbook pages for the year, especially layouts for weekly/monthly projects. Any layout that has a photo or event I want to use gets copied to my working folder. Then I go through my to-scrap folder and folders of recently-taken photos and do the same. I always end up with way too much in my working folder, so then I narrow things down to what I really plan to use before I spend time going back through my files to find the original photos. This is actually my process for making calendars in mid-December, but I'd do the same if I were making a single page.
