So...what CAN you use for music, words, & images as you create projects? Well, the best source is YOU. If you are using your own brain and creativity - maybe with a camera, computer software, a pencil/paintbrush, or a musical instrument to assist - then you become the creator and your work becomes protected by copyright.
If you prefer to borrow, be careful to ask permission, give credit to your source, and/or to use copyright-free sources.
