Nice sketch! There are also sliced sketch papers for CSS-Frameworks like 960Grid or Blueprint to make a quick layout based on the pages width.

Alternatively you could use something like Basamiq Mockups to do the overlays as well. You're limited to the predefined widgets, but it's a good balance, I find.
