Light boxes and scrapbooking

If you're as 'old' as I am and did graphics or photography, you remember these light boxes. We used to cut and paste using them to line things up perfectly... then along came larger printers, scanners, and digital pre-press. I haven't seen a light box in ages.

Then the whole scrapbooking thing started. Now I wish I had that old light box back. While you can certainly create the whole page on a computer and print it out as one, I think part of the appeal of scrapbooking is the physical texturing and layering of elements on the page. It sure would be nice to have a light box to help line things up! SuppliesNet.com sells them pretty cheaply. Maybe when the holidays are over and I have a ton and a half more photos to deal with, I may invest the small amount they're asking and get one.
