Converting PS Brushes

Dinphy had mentioned to me awhile back that she had learned to convert Photoshop brushes for use in DIP. Today in my Y-Group Shannon posted a great link on how Gimp Users can convert PS brushes over for Gimp. So that got to me motivated to post a few links here on how to convert PS brushes to various other graphic apps.
I've been very neglectful of adding my brush .png files in my PS Brushsets and I promise to do that in the future. Please know that it seriously was NOT Photoshop snobbery...lol!

If anyone has any others please let me know and I'll post them here. Thanks in advance.

Spotlight is on Calvina

Today whilst perusing Maria's DigiFree, a beautiful set of papers caught my eye. On this blog was the WHOLE beautiful kit by Calvina named, "Lavender Plum". I was so taken with the classy vintage aspect of Calvina's gorgeous kit that I had to make her todays Designer Spotlight. I urge all of you that read this to visit her blog and leave her some good feedback. Oh, she's also a Teddy Bear maker! Her hand-made mini-teds and friends are ADORABLE.
