[1912] Oh! Good idea.

Tom didn't show us Kat walking from her apartment to her lab. That doesn't mean she teleported there.

Not to mention that in the final panel, Kat's wearing her work suit, which we hadn't seen in any of the other panels.

I still think this is just "leaving the details of her fetching the notebook off-stage, between panels", and nothing more, and that we're focusing on it largely because this is just the "set-up" part of the chapter in which the exciting parts haven't begun yet. Once the story gets under way and we see them visiting that underground place in the thumbnail, I think we'll all forget the notebook.

Doesn't mean she didn't.  Might have teleported, ridden a unicorn, or maybe "borrowed" Dr Disaster's scooter.  There are entire chapters of possibilities in between the pages and panels of Gunnerkrigg Court.  If the plot line is getting you down, you can project your own shenanigans into the story.

Now the image of Kat tearing around the Court on Dr Disaster's scooter is stuck in my head and that is the real reason I added this reply.

She grabbed it with her off-panel hand?

I mean sure, that's most likly actually what happened. But when you've established that being able to make things appear is a thing her parents could let anyone do, it raises questions when Kat goes from not having an object within reach to having it.

It might, if the panel showed enough of Kat's surroundings to determine whether the notbook was within reach.
