What Space?

I don't get it.  I mean, there are a lot of things in LIFE I don't get, but in papercrafting I just don't understand the whole "white space" style of scrapping.  It looks so messy to me.  Is that the point?  Is it supposed to look unorganized and hap-hazard?  I guess I'll have to try and find my inner white space, but for now I think I'll stick to a little more traditional form of scrapping my memories.
