I love these LOVE dolls. I'm not going to bog you down with the details. First, I made a very simple pattern, head, arms, legs and body, just like the photo below. Then I made 2 sides, front and back. I stitched around with an opening, turned and stuffed it with polyfill. You can make your own pattern etc. I then painted the entire doll yellow.
I then printed out some bible verses, highlighted them in different colors then cut them in strips.
After cutting them in strips, I curled them using the finger scissors method, meaning with the strip in between my thumb and scissors and with a little pressure, pull the strip through to make it curl. Set aside.
Stamp the body with your favorite stamp. I used my Love verse stamp 1 Corinthians 13.
I then used the strips of curled verses as her her, cut a piece of heart shaped, and in a separate cardboard, stamp a face. Attach them to the face area to make face.
Embellish with ribbons, bling, etc. 
Attach a pinback.
