Watermarks

Make a custom brush of it in photoshop (if that's what you're using).
It's pretty easy to do.

1) Scan it (which you've obviously done already) and open the image in photoshop, then select just the ink/pencil lines.
2) On the "Edit" menu click on "Define Brush from Selection..." (I have elements 4.0, I'm not sure if the menus are the same on other versions)

That's pretty much it. Name it and save it. Now you can select that brush, make it whatever size you want, any color you want and just click where you want your signature.

-edit-
You could make the copyright text part of the brush too. Just use the Text tool to type in whatever you want to say under your signature and select that as well before you create the brush.
Then you could stamp your hand-written initials with your printed name, copyright, or contact info under it - eliminating the step of having to type that stuff in every time.

thanks for posting this. I didn't realize how easy it is to make a watermark as a brush. This is going to save me sooo much time.
