Hm, I'm not sure.
'To be fond of' means to like something/someone or have an affectionate feeling towards something/someone.
"I'm fond of chocolate." = "I like chocolate.'
'To be proud of' means to feel a sense of pride or satisfaction.
"I'm proud of you." = "I'm satisfied with you."
On a side note, 'proud' is different from 'to be proud of'. If you call someone proud, you are saying they are arrogant.

@xsammy They have a similar meaning, but there's still a difference.
If you say, "I'm proud of my cooking skills" you're saying you reached your standard of what's good. You may not necessarily like to cook.
If you say, "I'm fond of my cooking skills" you're implying you like to cook. You may be decent at cooking or amazing.
