Hold down the shift key to make a perfect circle and make your selection by dragging your mouse on the image. One way to make your own is to select a circle using the elliptical marquee tool.
There are several ways of making a bubble brush, or you can download ready made ones.
Now create a new layer and cover the picture with a riot of bubbles. Use the slider to increase the amount of blur, be generous, you don't want to be able to recognise any details in the image. Find blur under the filter tab in the main menu and click on Gaussian blur. Since the picture is rectangular, you need to open a new document as above and paste (or drag) the picture into it. Open the downloaded picture and resize it to 12"x12". The final background would probably look as good if I just covered the original photo with bubbles. I was tempted to use the background image I here as it was, since it already lacked distracting detail, but Gaussian blur does give the colours an almost translucent look. You might want the pattern to be more subdued, in that case decrease the opacity of the top layer, which contains the pattern, with the "layer style" functions on the right hand side of your window. Use the brush repeatedly to make the pattern. A handy shortcut: you can increase and decrease the size of the brush using the "]" and "[" buttons. Create a new layer, change the foreground color and click on the brush tool. Use the guides to build a grid on the background. This will create horizontal and vertical guides which you can move around with the mouse. The easiest way is to click on the rulers at the top and the left of the image and drag with the mouse onto the picture. To make an ordered pattern you will need some guides. Go to the "add noise" submenu, but make sure you don't add very much. To add a little bit of texture to the background (optional), choose filter from the main menu and choose noise. Create a new layer, change the foreground colour to whatever you like (in this case a light purple) and fill the layer with the colour using the bucket tool. If you are planning to print the backgrounds, change the colour mode to CMYK, otherwise leave it as RGB. Open a new document in photoshop from the main menu (File->New), I usually make my backgrounds 12"x12" and set the resolution at 300dpi. Once you are happy with your image, save it as a png or a jpg file. For this image I used the overlay blending mode at 97% opacity. You might like to play with the opacity slider option, decreasing the opacity of the clouds layer brings out more of the color underneath. Test out each blending mode until you find something you like. Access the blending options from "layer styles" under the layer tab in the main menu. Now comes the fun of trying out different blending options, and playing with the opacity of the cloud layer. 
From the filter tab in the main menu choose render, and render clouds. Pick a foreground color, in my case I went for purple, then choose the bucket tool and fill the new layer with the color.Create a new layer the tiny bottom at the bottom of the right hand menu (see image 2 below).If you are going to print your scrapbook project you should change the color profile to CMYK, otherwise leave it at RGB. I set the image at 12"x12" with a resolution of 300 dpi. Open a new document in Photoshop from the File tab of the main menu.Images showing where the different buttons are located are below the text. Create the pink texture above with these steps. These are made using the filter functions to render clouds or fibres in a layer above the colored layer and then trying different blending and opacity options. The easiest backgrounds to create are simple colorful textures.
