In my main Pictures folder I organize photos by year and within that by month. I often make scrapbook pages differently than that, so I have a To Scrap folder. I don't put photos there and then move them over once they're done--they're all duplicates of the photos in my Pictures folder, and I delete them once they're scrapped. This also allows me to use the same photos in multiple projects. For example, I might be planning to scrap a vacation photobook from a trip but also want a few photos from the trip to be in my yearly album. Much easier to do if I'm using duplicates. With my system I can also store similar photos from multiple years together if that's how I plan to scrap them.
