There's a ready-made doodle sheet on the Free Heraldry Clipart site 
<http://www.heraldicclipart.com/catalog/Doodle1.html>.  The escutcheons 
are rounded at the bottom, rather than pointed like the one on the 
submission form, but it shouldn't matter for sketching.

By the way, when I'm sketching possible devices for myself, I try out 
the real contenders on a variety of shapes.  Some of the ones I've 
liked best on the S.C.A. heater didn't translate at all well to other 
formats.  I use center-boss-shield-shapes, early-period-banner-shapes, 
etc., but the one I rely on most is a simple gonfalon 
<http://b-b-fam.home.texas.net/Coblaith/gonfalon.jpg>.  Since I don't 
fight, that's how I'll most likely be seeing my arms (assuming I ever 
register any) most of the time.

Just a note:  Any good copy shop will have three-hole-punched paper in 
stock, and most will let you use it in the self-serve copiers at no 
additional cost.
