Last week in my post about Trapped White Space I mentioned that this week I’d be talking about tabbed journaling. I can only imagine that you’re seeing something in your head that’s similar to the featured image above and wondering how this is going to work.

I know, I generally say there are no rules but there’s always an exception or two (or more). And the trapped white space rule is one I try (not always diligently) to practice.

And, if you’ve seen my post about an “Out of Bounds” effect, the featured image at the top may look a little familiar. The image in my original post was angled but not in the same way as the one above. That image is a great example of a warped frame…
