Look at the bottom of the list of the brush set you had active when you saved it.

Define Brush from Image
Ctrl-A to select all
From the Menu, Edit > Define Brush from Selection
Name the brush
Choose the Paintbrush Tool and scroll to the end of the brushes palette where you will find your new brush. This brush is just temporary and will disappear when you exit Elements unless you save it.
Save Brush to a Set
Open the Preset Manager from the brush palette by clicking the small right-pointing arrow at the top right. Scroll to the end of the active brush set and select the brush you just defined. Then click Save Set and give your brush set a name

You’ll need to restart Elements for your new brush set to show up in the brushes palette.

Caution: If you should define more custom brushes and add them to this same brush set, when saving the set with the new brush, make sure to select all brushes (Ctrl-click each one) that you want to remain in the set before saving.
