How to create a clipping mask on a scanned image in Adobe Illustrator?

Q. I have a scanned image that I am trying to utilize in creating a logo. I need to cut the image from its background, and I have read that the best way to do this is with a clipping mask. When I try this utilizing the pen tool, it says that the clipping mask cannot be used because more than one object must be selected??? Help!

A. Just got though designing a Valentine's Day card for my wife.

The "path" you make with the pen tool is one object. The drawing behind it is another. After you draw the path, use the select tool to select BOTH the path and the drawing. THEN make the mask.

Remember that even after the mask is made, they are STILL two separate objects. If you intend to move the image around, GROUP the two objects so that they move as one.
