The standard way you take a screenshot in Windows is hit PRINT, paste the data into i.e. Paint and save the image. If you don't want the VirtualBox-Window to show, you can use CTRL+F to enable fullscreen mode and take the snapshot there.

You have to first release your keyboard from the VirtualBox window by pressing the Host Key (Right Ctrl by default). Then press Alt+Print Screen to capture just the window.

I like to use Skitch from my OS X host environment anytime I need to take a screenshot of something in a virtual machine.
