Great topic. I have heard a Patriarchal Blessing is considered Personal Scripture, and here is a quote to back that up.
Quote:
Further, I would encourage you brethren of the Aaronic Priesthood to receive a patriarchal blessing. Study it carefully and regard it as personal scripture to you--for that is what it is. A patriarchal blessing is the inspired and prophetic statement of your life's mission together with blessings, cautions, and admonitions as the patriarch may be prompted to give. Young men, receive your patriarchal blessing under the influence of fasting and prayer, and then read it regularly that you may know God's will for you.
- President Ezra Taft Benson, General Conference April 1984

I have also been told the hymn book is considered scripture, but I cannot find a good quote to back that up. What's more, I have been told the most recent General Conference talks are the only GC talks considered scripture. Once more, I could not find an official statement. The only statements I could find about what is canonized scripture for The Church of Jesus Christ, is the standard works, which include the Holy Bible, The Book of Mormon, The Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.
