I was going to post this in another drip irrigation post floating around, but figured it would be a better resource on its own.
So post pics of your drip systems so others can possibly copy your ideas, or learn from your mistakes!
Here is mine...

Dug a trench from my faucet to my raised beds and ran solid main line tubing.
Then I used the main line tubing with holes in it to make a bottom watering grid. I have a second one of these in the other bed, just not pictured.
I attached this to this grid as well to hook my above ground system to.
I then filled my beds full of dirt, and made sure the bottom system was lifted up inside the dirt a few inches.
I then ran a grid of 1/4" tubing above ground. I poked a ton of holes using a thumb tack. Again, I did the same on the second bed.
To automate the whole thing I installed a 4 output timer. I have a near identical system on more sets of beds that belong to my wife's veggies. That is where the other 2 hoses are going.
Also on one of the other veggie channels I installed a drip line to all my growing bags.
