Clipping Masks

I found some GREAT freebies today and of course, I had to try them out.  I have tried using clipping masks before, but couldn't quite figure out how it all worked.  Then, I found this amazing blog/website with TONS of freebies and tutorials!  It's called The CoffeeShop Blog and if you are getting started with photography and want lots of free downloads, check it out HERE!  I have to say THANK YOU to Rita for offering so many FREEBIES.  
I downloaded so many incredible materials and I have been having so much fun trying them out.  Rita has made it so easy to use clipping masks!  I'm posting a few projects below using photos from a session with my dear friend (see my first blog entry for more photos from this shoot).  I may add a few others as well... having too much fun with my new "toy"!
